6.7 Making Cursor Measurements
You can use the cursors to quickly make time and voltage
measurements on a waveform. You can use the cursors to
measure the amplitude and frequency of a FFT waveform.
You can also use the cursors to measure the phase
difference between two signals with the same frequency
when X-Y horizontal mode is selected.
Measure the time and voltage on normal waveform
Perform the following steps to take time and frequency
measurements.
Press the CURSOR key to display the CURSOR menu.

to move the X1 cursor.
Press
X1--/
X2—softkey or press the entry knob to
select X2 cursor.
Rotate the entry knob
to move the X2 cursor.
ΔX and 1/ΔX are displayed in the softkey area. ΔX is
the time difference between X1 and X2;
1/ΔX is the
frequency between X1 and X2.
