Cursors
Cursors are horizontal and vertical markers that indicate X-axis values and Y-axis values on a selected waveform source.
Cursors can be used to make custom voltage and time measurements on the oscilloscope signals.
The cursor types include X1, X2, X1-X2, Y1, Y2 and Y1- Y2, used to indicate X-axis values (time or frequency) and
Y-axis values (amplitude) on a selected waveform (CH1/CH2/CH3/CH4/F1/F2/REFA/REFB/REFC/REFD).
Gestures move the cursor quickly but not precisely, while the knob moves the cursor precisely but not as quickly. You
can use both in combination to suit your needs: First, a rough adjustment is achieved by using gestures and then a fine
adjustment is achieved by using the universal knob.
To enable Cursors:
1.
Press the
Cursors
key to open the
Cursor
menu.
2.
Press the
Cursors
option to toggle the function on or off.
3.
Press the
Mode
option to select the desired cursor mode.

Manual Cursor Mode
–
Track
: The cursor type is automatically set to
horizontal + vertical
. In this mode, only horizontal cursors
are adjustable, while the vertical cursors automatically attach to the cross-point of the cursor and the source
waveform. Figure
demonstrates track mode cursors.
