Analyzing the Waveform
Linear Scaling
≡
Page 5-12.
≡
It is possible to append a scaling constant A, an offset value B and a unit to the measurement
value X of cursor or automated measurements. Linear scaling is useful, when applying a voltage
divider ratio to the measurement values. Linear scaling is also handy when you want to your
scope to automatically convert the measured voltage results into the (for example, current or
temperature) measurement unit of your signal source.
Y(UNIT) = AX + B
Y = result of linear scaling
Cursor Measurements
≡
Page 9-1.
≡
You can use the following cursor types to analyze the waveform data.
• V cursors
Two vertical broken lines (V cursors) are displayed. The time from the trigger position to
each V cursor and the time difference between the V cursors are measured.
• H cursors
Two horizontal broken lines (H cursors) are displayed. The values in the vertical direction of
each H cursor and the difference between the two are measured.
• Markers
Use this feature to place one or two markers onto the waveform. You can then read the
voltage value and time value (relative to trigger position) at each marker, and the voltage
difference and time span between the markers.

• User defined cursors
You can assign reference points, the zero point and the end point, on the time axis and
measure the relative positions of the two V cursors with respect to the reference. You can
arbitrarily set the reference width from the zero point to the end point and the unit of
measurement within a certain range.
