The cursor measurement has three modes: Manual, Track and Auto Measure.

1. Manual:

In this mode, the screen displays two parallel cursors. Move the cursors to make

custom voltage or time measurements of the signal. The values are displayed on

the boxes below the menu. Before using cursors, make sure to set the Signal

Source as the channel for measuring.

2. Track:

In this mode, the screen displays two cross cursors. The cross cursor sets the

position on the waveform automatically. Adjust cursor’s horizontal position on

the waveform by rotating the multifunctional knob ( ). The oscilloscope

displays the values of the coordinates on the boxes below the menu.

3. Auto Measure:

This mode will take effect with Automatic Measurements. The instruments will

display cursors while measuring parameters automatically. These cursors

demonstrate the electrical meanings of these measurements.

NOTE: The Auto Measure mode for Cursor measuring will take no effect without

automatic measurements.
