Explanation
By placing markers or cursors on the displayed waveform, the data defined by that point
can be measured and displayed. It can be used to measure the voltage and current for
various sections of the waveform or the corresponding horizontal axis (X axis) data.
Waveforms that can be measured
Select the waveform to be measured using the cursor from the following choices.
CH1 to CH8, Math1, Math2
Marker and cursor types and measured items
• Marker
“+” and “
×
” marks are displayed on the specified waveform. The vertical value (Y-
axis value) and the horizontal value from the left edge of the screen (X-axis value)
of each marker can be measured. The differences between the Y-axis values and
between the X-axis values can also be measured. The marker moves along the
waveform and measures the value of the waveform data.
+ marker (Cursor1) and
×
marker (Cursor2) can be set on different waveforms.
Y+ : Y-axis value of Cursor1
Y
×
: Y-axis value of Cursor2
∆
Y : The difference between the Y-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
X+ : X-axis value of Cursor1
X
×
: X-axis value of Cursor2
∆
X : The difference between the X-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
1/
∆
X : The inverse of the difference between the X-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
• H cursor (Horizontal)
Two H cursors are displayed horizontally. The vertical value (Y-axis value) at the
cross point between the H cursor and the waveform and the difference in the Y-
axis values of the H cursors can be measured. The two H cursors are set on the
same waveform.
Y1 : Y-axis value of Cursor1
Y2 : Y-axis value of Cursor2
∆
Y : The difference between the Y-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
• V cursor (Vertical)
Two V cursors are displayed vertically. The horizontal value from the left edge of
the screen to each V cursor (X-axis value) and the difference in the X-axis values
of the V cursors can be measured. The two V cursors are set on the same
waveform.
X1 : X-axis value of Cursor1
X2 : X-axis value of Cursor2
∆
X : The difference between the X-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
1/
∆
X : The inverse of the difference between the X-axis values of Cursor1 and Cursor2
