Making Cursor Measurements
You can use the Cursors button to select between these cursor
measurement modes:
• Manual — gives you manually adjustable, parallel cursors for measuring
time or amplitude between cursors.
• Track — gives you one or two manually adjustable, cross-hair cursors
that track the points of a waveform, measuring time and amplitude.
• Auto — gives you automatically adjusted cursors for the most recently
displayed voltage or time measurement.
• OFF — cursors are tuned off.
To use manually adjustable cursors
You can set up two parallel, manually adjustable cursors to make
amplitude (vertical) or time (horizontal) measurements on a selected
waveform.
1 Press Cursors
.
2 In the Cursors menu, press Mode until “Manual” is selected.
3 Select Ty pe to toggle between:
• Time — to use cursors to measure time parameters.
• Voltage — to use cursors to measure voltage parameters.
4 Press Source to select the channel or math waveform on which to make
the measurement.
