RIGOL Chapter 6 Operations and Measurements
6-44 MSO8000 User Guide
Note:
➢ When the Time Base Mode is set to "XY", the XY cursor measurement mode is
valid.
➢ If no measurement parameter is selected or no measurement source is input, no
cursor is displayed.
➢ When you expand or compress the waveforms horizontally, the cursor will
change accordingly.
➢ In Zoom (delayed sweep) mode, by default, "Zoom" is selected for the cursor
measurement. You can run the :CURSor:MANual:REGion command to set "Main"
as the target for cursor measurement.
Manual Mode
In this mode, you can adjust the cursor manually to measure the value of the
waveforms of the specified source at the current cursor. The measurement results
are displayed at the upper-left corner of the screen. When you change the cursor
position, the measurement results will be changed accordingly.
Press Mode to select "Manual" to enable the manual cursor measurement function.
If the settings for the parameter such as "Select", "Source", "Hori. Unit", and "Vert.
Unit" are different, the measurement results will be different for cursor measurement.
The measurement results are displayed at the upper-left corner of the screen, as
shown in the figure below.
âš« AX: indicates the X value at Cursor A.
âš« AY: indicates the Y value at Cursor A.
âš« BX: indicates the X value at Cursor B.
âš« BY: indicates the Y value at Cursor B.
âš« â–³X: indicates the horizontal spacing between Cursor A and Cursor B.
âš« â–³Y: indicates the vertical spacing between Cursor A and Cursor B.
âš« 1/â–³X: indicates the reciprocal of the horizontal spacing between Cursor A and
Cursor B.
1. Select Cursor Type
Press Select continuously to select the cursor type.
âš« X: It is a pair of vertical solid (Cursor A)/dotted (Cursor B) lines, used for
measuring time parameters. The measurement results include AX, BX, â–³X,
and 1/â–³X (displayed only when "s" or "Hz" is selected under Hori. Unit).
