6 To Make Measurements RIGOL
DS6000 User’s Guide 6-31
Manual Mode
In this mode, you can adjust the cursors manually to measure the X (or Y) values,
the X increment (or Y increment) between the cursors and the reciprocal of the X
increment of the waveform of the specified source (CH1-CH4 or MATH). The X
cursors are a pair of vertical dotted lines and are usually used to measure the time
parameters. The Y cursors are a pair of horizontal dotted lines and are usually used
to measure the voltage parameters.
Press CURS Mode "Manual" to turn the manual mode on or press CURS
continuously to switch to "Manual"; the measurement results will be displayed at the
upper-left corner of the screen in the following mode.
The X value at cursor A (A->X): take the trigger position as reference.
The X value at cursor B (B->X): take the trigger position as reference.
The Y value at cursor A (A->Y): take the channel ground as reference.
The Y value at cursor B (B->Y): take the channel ground as reference.
The horizontal difference between cursors A and B (△X).
The reciprocal of the horizontal difference between cursors A and B (1/△X).
The vertical difference between cursors A and B (△Y).
If needed, please refer to the following steps to modify the parameters of manual
cursor measurement.
1. Select the display mode
Press DisplayMode to select "X", "Y" or "X-Y".
X: only display the X cursors (a pair of vertical solid/dotted lines).
Y: only display the Y cursors (a pair of horizontal solid/dotted lines).
X-Y: display the x cursors (a pair of vertical solid/dotted lines) and Y cursors
