2.10 Measurement system
The oscilloscope can use scale and cursor for measurement or automatic
measurement, so that users can fully understand the measured signals.
2.10.1 Scale measurement
By using the method, estimation can be made quickly and intuitively. For instance,
waveform amplitude can be observed, and a probable measurement result is judged
according to the vertical scale. The method realizes simple measurement by
multiplying the vertical scale number of the signal with the vertical gear Volt/div.
2.10.2 Cursor measurement
[CURSORS]
is a function key for cursor measurement.
CURSORS
The cursor measurement includes two modes: Manual mode and Tracking mode.
1. Manual mode:
Horizontal cursors or vertical cursors appear in pair to measure time or voltage, and
the distance between the cursors can be manually regulated. The signal source should
be set as a waveform to be measured before the cursors are used.
2. Tracking mode:
A horizontal cursor is intersected with a vertical cursor to form a cross cursor. The
cross cursor is automatically located on the waveform, and the horizontal position of
the cross cursor on the waveform is regulated by selecting “Cur A” or “Cur B” and
rotating the [UNIVERSAL] knob. The coordinates of the cursor point will be displayed
on the screen of the oscilloscope.
