Delta readouts are displayed on the right- hand side of the display. If you
the press the [Cursors] front panel key, you can see absolute voltage and
time readouts for each cursor near the bottom of the display. Your screen
should now look similar to Figure 3.
In addition to using the scope’s default “manual” placement of time and
voltage cursors independently, you can also select the Track Waveform cursor
mode by pressing the [Cursors] front panel key, and then change from
“manual” to “tracking”. In the “tracking” cursor mode, you have the ability
to control the time placement of the cursors, and then the scope will
automatically position the voltage cursors on the waveform where the time
cursors intersect the waveform.
Let’s now perform some automatic parametric measurements on this
waveform.
14 Press the [Meas] front panel key (next to the Cursors knob).
If beginning with a default setup (as we have done), when the [Meas] key
is pressed the scope will turn on an automatic frequency and Vp- p
measurement. Because this scope is able to show up to four continuously
updated measurements, let’s add more measurements.
15 Press the Type softkey; then select Maximum.
