Manual Mode
In this mode, a pair of cursors will appear. You can adjust the cursors manually to
measure the X (or Y), X increment (or Y increment) between cursors and the
reciprocal of X increment on the waveform of the selected source (CH1 to CH4 or
MATH).
Press Cursor  Mode  “Manual” to turn the manual cursor function on and the
measurement results will be displayed at the upper left corner of the screen in the
following mode.
 AX: the X value at cursor A. The X value takes the trigger position as reference.
 AY: the Y value at cursor A. The Y value takes the channel GND as reference.
 BX: the X value at cursor B. The X value takes the trigger position as reference.
 BY: the Y value at cursor B. The Y value takes the channel GND as reference.
 BX-AX: the horizontal difference between cursor A and B.
 BY-AY: the vertical difference between cursor A and B.
 1/|dX|: the reciprocal of the horizontal difference between cursor A and B.
If needed, please refer to the following steps to modify the parameters of manual
cursor measurement.
1. Select Cursor Type
Press Select to select “ ” or “ ”.

: the X cursors; a vertical dotted line (cursor A) and a vertical solid line
(cursor B) and are usually used to measure time parameters.

: the Y cursors; a horizontal dotted line (cursor A) and a horizontal
solid line (cursor B) and are usually used to measure voltage parameters.
