RIGOL Chapter 6 To Make Measurements
DS1000Z User’s Guide
Manual Mode
In this mode, a pair of cursors will appear. You can adjust the cursors manually to
measure the X (or Y), X increment (or Y increment) between cursors and the
reciprocal of X increment on the waveform of the selected source (CH1, CH2 or
MATH).
Press Cousor Mode “Manual” to turn the manual cursor function on and the
measurement results will be displayed at the upper left corner of the screen in the
following mode.
The X or Y value at cursor A (AX or AY): X value takes the trigger position as
reference and Y value takes the channel GND as reference.
The X or Y value at cursor B (BX or BY): X value takes the trigger position as
reference and Y value takes the channel GND as reference.
The horizontal or vertical difference between cursor A and B (BX-AX or BY-AY).
The reciprocal of the horizontal difference between cursor A and B (1/|dX|).
If needed, please refer to the following steps to modify the parameters of manual
cursor measurement.
1. Select Cursor Type
Press Type to select “X” or “Y”. The X cursors are a vertical dotted line (cursor A)
and a vertical solid line (cursor B) and are usually used to measure time
parameters. The voltage cursors are a horizontal dotted line (cursor A) and a
horizontal solid line (cursor B) and are usually used to measure voltage
parameters.
2. Select Measurement Source
Press Source to select the waveform of the analog channels (CH1-CH4) or math
operation results (MATH) for measurement.
