Taking cursor measurements
You can use the cursors to quickly take time and amplitude measurements on a
waveform.
Measuring ring frequency
and amplitude
To measure the ring frequency at the rising edge of a signal, follow these steps:
1. Push the Cursor front-panel button to see the Cursor Menu.
2. Push the Type side-menu button. A pop-out menu should appear showing a
scroll-able list of the available cursor types.

10. Push the Cursor 2 option button.
11. Turn the Multipurpose knob to place a cursor on the second peak of the ring.
You can see the Δ (delta) time and frequency (the measured ring frequency)
in the Cursor Menu.
