3.16 Waveform Measurement
The oscilloscope displays graphs of voltage versus time (YT) and can help to measure the displayed
waveform. There are several ways to take measurements, using the graticule, the cursors or performing
an automatic measurement.
Graticule:
This method allows a quick, visual estimate and takes a simple measurement through the
graticule divisions and the scale factor.
For example, the user can take simple measurements by counting the major and minor graticule
divisions involved and multiplying by the scale factor. If 6 major vertical graticule divisions are counted
between the minimum and maximum values of a waveform and a scale factor of 50mV/division is
selected, the peak-to-peak voltage can be calculated as follows:
6 divisions x 50mV/division = 300mV.
Cursor:
This method allows the user to take measurements by moving the cursors. Cursors always
appear in pairs and the displayed readouts are just their measured values. There are two types of
cursors: Amplitude Cursor and Time Cursor. The amplitude cursor appears as a horizontal broken line,
measuring the vertical parameters. The time cursor appears as a vertical broken line, measuring the
horizontal parameters. When using the cursors please set the Source parameter to the desired
waveform. To use cursors, push the CURSOR button.
