Waveform Measurements

Measuring with Cursors

Cursors are important tools that aid you in measuring signal values.

Cursors are boundary markers that you can move across the grid. Use

cursors to make fast, accurate measurements and to eliminate guesswork.

There are three cursor measurement modes:

 Manual - displays two horizontal parallel cursors or vertical parallel

cursors to measure voltage or time. Voltage cursors appear as

horizontal lines on the display and measure the vertical parameters.

Time cursors appear as vertical lines on the display and measure the

horizontal parameters. You can move the cursor by turning the

Adjust front panel knob. Before using cursors, you should make

sure that you have set the signal source as the channel for

measuring.

 Track - displays two cross-cursors. The cross-cursors set the

position on the waveform automatically. You can adjust the cursor

position on the waveform by turning the Adjust front panel knob. The

values are displayed on the top of the grid display.

 Auto - Automatically places markers of what is being measured on

the waveform. These markers clarify parameter measurements by

displaying cursors and a visual representation of what is being

measured. When in Auto cursor mode, as you select measurement

parameters the markers will be displayed for the measurements.
