Take cursor
measurements
9. Press the Vertical MATH button, and use the
numbered front-panel button to choose a math
waveform from M1 -- M8. The button will light amber
when you have chosen the waveform. (See figure at
upper right.)
10. Press the CURSORS button (see figure at lower
right). Press:
H Once to display vertical bar cursors (shown
below)
H A second time to display horizontal bar cursors
H A third time to display waveform-based cursors
11. Press the SELECT button to toggle selection
between the two cursors.
12. Turn the knob to position each cursor on the math
waveform to measure the feature that interests you.
13. Read the results in cursor readout.
In the figure shown above, waveform cursors are
used to measure the V of the integral math
waveform, which could be used to compute its
area (
svdt).
