6.7 Making Cursor Measurements

You can use the cursors to quickly make time and voltage

measurements on a waveform. You can use the cursors to

measure the amplitude and frequency of a FFT waveform.

You can also use the cursors to measure the phase

difference between two signals with the same frequency

when X-Y horizontal mode is selected.

Measure the time and voltage on normal waveform

Perform the following steps to take time and frequency

measurements.

 Press the CURSOR key to display the CURSOR menu.

 Press

X1--/

X2—softkey or press the entry knob to

select X2 cursor.

 Rotate the entry knob

to move the X2 cursor.

ΔX and 1/ΔX are displayed in the softkey area. ΔX is
the time difference between X1 and X2;

1/ΔX is the

frequency between X1 and X2.
