Time Cursors. Time cursors appear as vertical lines on the display and measure
both horizontal and vertical parameters. Times are referenced to the trigger point.
For the FFT function, these cursors measure frequency.
Time cursors also include a readout of the waveform amplitude at the point the
waveform crosses the cursor.
Automatic
The Measure Menu can take up to six automatic measurements. When you take
automatic measurements, the oscilloscope does all the calculating for you.
Because the measurements use the waveform record points, they are more
accurate than the graticule or cursor measurements.
Automatic measurements use readouts to show measurement results. These
readouts are updated periodically as the oscilloscope acquires new data.
For measurement descriptions, refer to the Reference chapter. See Measure on
page 91.
