8. To turn the display of the cursors on or off, push the front-panel Cursor button.
9. For waveform or screen cursors, set the cursor style by selecting one of the following from the list:
■
Lines. Displays the intersection of horizontal and vertical lines. Lines are the default style for Screen cursors.
■
Line & X. Displays the horizontal position as a vertical line; the Y-axis is displayed as an X.
■
X. Displays the horizontal and vertical position as a single X.
Cursor Types
Because cursor measurements give immediate feedback on the amplitude or time values they measure, they are usually quick to
take and are more accurate than graticule measurements. Also, since you can position cursors wherever you want them on the
waveform, they are easier to localize to a waveform segment or feature than automatic measurements.
The following table defines the cursor types.
Cursor function Measurements
Horizontal cursors measure vertical parameters (amplitude) in
volts, watts, or IRE. The cursor readouts are defined as:
V1 = Level @ Cursor 1 with respect to its source ground level.
V2 = Level @ Cursor 2 with respect to its source ground level.
ΔV = Level @ Cursor 2 - Level @ Cursor 1.
Level is cursor displacement from the source ground multiplied
by the source in volts/div. The two cursors may have different
sources and therefore can have different volts/div settings.
Vertical cursors measure horizontal parameters. Typically the
horizontal parameters are in time or frequency, but depend on
the units you select. The cursor readouts are defined as:
T1 = Time @ Cursor 1 with respect to the trigger point
T2 = Time @ Cursor 2 with respect to the trigger point
ΔT = Time @ Cursor 2–Time @ Cursor 1
Time is divisions of displacement of the cursor from its source
trigger point multiplied by the source in time/div.
Waveform cursors measure vertical parameters (typically volts)
and horizontal parameters (typically time or frequency)
simultaneously. Each cursor is, in effect, both a vertical and
horizontal cursor. These paired cursors cannot be moved off of
the waveform. The two cursors can have a different source.
Use screen cursors to indicate an arbitrary X and Y position in
the waveform display area represented by the intersection of a
vertical and horizontal cursor line. Screen cursors measure
both vertical parameters (typically volts) and horizontal
parameters (typically time or frequency).
