Measurement items
The following items can be measured.
• Using X-Y cursors to measure time difference/ voltage : X-Y
T
Time difference between position of vertical cursor and trigger position (the vertical
cursor is also displayed on the T-Y waveform in case the T-Y and X-Y waveform are
being displayed on the same screen)
X
X-axis voltage at the position of the X-Y cursor (Voltage at the position where
waveform CH1 intersects the vertical cursor of the T-Y waveform)
Y
Y-axis voltage at the position of the X-Y cursor (Voltage at the position where
waveform CH2 intersects the vertical cursor of the T-Y waveform)
T-Y waveform
X-Y waveform
Measurement
values
Vertical cursor
X-Y cursor
• Using vertical cursors to measure only voltage difference of the X-axis : dX
DX
V2-V1; where V1 is the voltage at the X-axis where cursor T1 intersects, and V2 is
the voltage at the X-axis where cursor T2 intersects.
• Using horizontal cursors to measure only voltage difference of the Y-axis : dY
DY
V2-V1; where V1 is the voltage at the Y-axis where cursor H1 intersects, and V2 is
the voltage at the Y-axis where cursor H2 intersects.
Cursor movement method
The cursors can be selected as follows.
• X-Y cursor
The X-Y cursor is indicated by a “+” symbol and moves over the X-Y waveform. In case
the display shows both the X-Y and the T-Y waveform, there will be only one vertical
cursor displayed, on the T-Y waveform. This cursor, related to the X-Y cursor, moves
over the time-axis.
• Vertical cursor
T1
Moves cursor T1 only.
T2
Moves cursor T2 only.
T1&T2
Moves both cursors T1 and T2 simultaneously without changing the distance
between them.
• Horizontal cursor
H1
Moves cursor H1 only.
H2
Moves cursor H2 only.
H1&H2
Moves both cursors H1 and H2 simultaneously without changing the distance
between them.
Cursor movement range
The X-Y cursor can only be moved over the X-Y waveform. For details regarding the
horizontal/vertical cursors, refer to page 8-3.
