5.7 Cursor Measurement
It is possible to read time and measurement data values on the X-Axis using two cursors:
cursor A and cursor B. This may be useful if you want to know the time or voltage
difference between two occurrences. Use the cursors as follows:
1 During monitoring cursors are not displayed. Therefore, before setting any
cursors, click the red Pause button.
Pause button
2 Point the mouse at the position in the waveform display area where you want
to read measurement data. The vertical bar that appears first is cursor A. Hold
the mouse and drag the pointer to the next position where you want to read
measurement data. Cursor B gets set when you release the mouse.
Example of cursor display:
Cursor B Cursor A
3 Select Window > Display Cursor’s Value, or click the Cursor Value button on the
toolbar.
In the Cursor’s Value dialog box you can now read measurement values at the
cursor positions and the value difference between the two cursors positions.
If you wish to accurately adjust the position of a cursor, click the arrow buttons
next to data No. values in the Cursor Value dialog box. The cursor will move one
steps per data item.

doing this, no values will remain in the Cursor Value dialog box.

position where you want the A cursor to appear.
• To move only cursor B in the display screen, press the Shift button, and click on the position
where you want the B cursor to appear.
