How to Operate Your Instrument
5.
To move a cursor, touch the cursor
readout on the display and turn the large
knob to move the selected cursor on the
waveform. The active cursor readout
appears in yellow with a filled-in knob
icon.
6.
Repeat the process to adjust the other
cursor (if cursors are set to independent).
7.
Read the cursor measurement in the
Cursors readout.
NOTE.
If the display is in Parade mode,
do not try to measure from one element to
the next. Stay within single component for
accurate measurements.
Other Usage Tips
If you use other functions, such as Line Select, while cursors are active, the knob will be assigned to those other functions.
Touch one of the cursor readouts to transfer the knob control back to cursors.
You can display independent cursors in all four tiles at the same time, although you will only be able to change the
cursors in the active tile.
Cursors track the live trace, so they may not be correctly registered on a captured trace.
Press the
SELECT
button to change the cursor assigned to the knob. If both voltage and time cursors are displayed,
repeatedly pressing Select will cycle the knob assignment through all the displayed cursors. If only one set of cursors is
displayed, pressing the Select button will cycle the knob assignment between cursor 1 and cursor 2.
To Capture the Display
Use the Capture function to capture the current image for traces (waveform, gamut displays, and vector) if selected. Capture
is useful for comparing sources or for capturing transient events. The frozen image is shown in a different color to distinguish
it from the live image. Use
Capture Trace / Capture Buffer
to freeze a display you want to keep or show to someone else.
In this application, setting the Capture Display On setting and disabling the Live Display On setting might be best. For
comparing sources, the enabling both the Live Display On and Capture Display On modes is useful.
You can capture waveforms two ways: as a trace and as a buffer. Buffer and Trace modes are different in the following ways:
Trace mode takes a snapshot of the display, so it cannot change size or mode after the freeze.
In Buffer mode, a frame of the input signal is captured. This allows it to be redisplayed as the display mode and size is
changed. For example you can perform a buffer capture in waveform mode, and then change to vector to see the same
data in the new display. Buffer mode also resizes the capture image as you go from four-tile to full screen mode.
Trace mode capture works in both tile and full-screen modes, but frozen images do not change from tile to full or
visa-versa. The frozen image is still available if you go back to tile mode.
