Analyzing a waveform
Using cursors to take manual measurements
Cursors are on-screen vertical and horizontal lines that you position on a waveform to take measurements. The cursors have
readouts that show the value at their position or where they cross a waveform. Cursors also show the absolute difference
measurement value (or delta) between two cursor positions.
Cursor readouts appear next to the cursors. The readouts show the signal values at the current cursor positions. The
readouts also show the difference (delta, marked with a
Δ
symbol) between the cursor measurements. The oscilloscope
always shows the readouts when the cursors are turned on.
NOTE.
Cursors are not available in XY display mode.

The color of the cursors indicates
the channel on which they are taking
measurements.
The solid line cursor is the active
(selected) cursor, and is controlled by
the
Multipurpose
knob.

Use the
Multipurpose
knob to move the
solid line (selected) cursor. The readouts
associated with that cursor change as
