Cursor Measurement Parameters
The table below shows the parameters that can be measured and displayed using each
type of cursors.
• When X-Y Waveforms Are Not Displayed
Horizontal cursors
Measures the Y-axis value at the cursor position.
Y1
Y-axis (vertical axis) value of Cursor1
Y2
Y-axis value of Cursor2
DY
The difference between the Y-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
Vertical cursors
Measures the X-axis and Y-axis values at the cursor position.
X1
X-axis (vertical axis) value of Cursor1
X2
X-axis value of Cursor2
DX
The difference between the X-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
1/DX
The inverse of the difference between the X-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
Y1
Y-axis value at the cross point of Cursor1 and the waveform
Y2
Y-axis value at the cross point of Cursor2 and the waveform
DY
The difference between the Y-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
Marker cursors
Measures the X-axis value and Y-axis value of the waveform. Marker cursors move along the
waveform. M1 (Marker 1) to M4 (Marker 4) can be set on different waveforms.
X1-X4
X-axis values of M1 to M4
DX2
The difference between the X-axis values of M1 and M2
DX3
The difference between the X-axis values of M1 and M3
DX4
The difference between the X-axis values of M1 and M4
Y1-Y4
Y-axis values of M1 to M4
DY2
The difference between the Y-axis values of M1 and M2
DY3
The difference between the Y-axis values of M1 and M3
DY4
The difference between the Y-axis values of M1 and M4
Angle cursors (Degree)
Measurements can be made by converting the time axis values into angles. The zero point
(position of reference cursor Ref1) and the end point (position of the reference cursor Ref2) are
set on the X-axis and an angle (reference angle) is assigned to the width of Ref1 and Ref2. The
positions of the two angle cursors (Cursor1 and Cursor2) are converted into angles from the
specified reference angle and measured.
X1
Angle of Cursor1 from Ref1
X2
Angle of Cursor2 from Ref1
DX
The angle difference between Cursor1 and Cursor2
Y1
Y-axis value at the cross point of Cursor1 and the waveform
Y2
Y-axis value at the cross point of Cursor1 and the waveform
DY
The difference between the Y-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
Setting Range of the Reference Angle
1-720
°
Both horizontal and vertical cursors (H&V) (for products of version 2.09 or later)
Measures the X and Y values at the cursor.
Y1
Y axis value of horizontal Curs1 (Cursor1)
Y2
Y axis value of horizontal Curs2 (Cursor2)
DY
The difference in Y axis values of horizontal Curs1 and horizontal Curs2
X1
X axis value of vertical Curs1
X2
X axis value of vertical Curs2
DX
The difference in X axis values of vertical Curs1 and vertical Curs2
