Cursor Measurement
Before making cursor measurements, connect the signal to the oscilloscope and
acquire stable display. Cursor measurement can measure the X axis values (usually
Time) and Y axis values (usually Voltage) of the selected waveform. All the waveform
parameters in “Auto Measurement” can be measured through cursor.
Press Cursor  Mode at the front panel and use
to select the desired cursor
mode (the default is “OFF”) and then press down the knob. The modes available are
“Manual”, “Track” and “Auto”. When the “
Time Base Mode” is “X-Y”, the available
cursor mode includes X-Y.
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, CH2, MATH
or LA). When the measurement source is set to LA, the logic level value of the digital
channel currently turned on will be displayed in binary and hexadecimal forms (high
level is 1 and low level is 0).
Press Cursor  Mode  “Manual” to turn the manual cursor measurement
function on. The measurement results are displayed at the upper left corner of the
screen.
When the measurement source is CH1, CH2 or MATH, the measurement results are
as shown in the figure below.
 A->X: the X value at cursor A. X value takes the trigger position as reference. Its
unit is “s” or “Hz” (when measuring FFT waveform).
