To make cursor measurements

You can use the cursors to make custom voltage or time measurements on oscilloscope signals, and timing measurements on digital channels.

• To manually control Cursors on 6000L models start the Remote Front Panel (see page 44) and select Measure from the Main Menu or press ctrl+C to access the oscilloscope’s Cursors Menu.

1 Connect a signal to the oscilloscope and obtain a stable display.

2 Press the Cursors key. View the cursor functions in the softkey menu:

• Mode — Set the cursors to measure voltage and time (Normal), or display the binary or hexadecimal logic value of the displayed waveforms.

• Source — selects a channel or math function for the cursor measurements.

• X Y — Select either the X cursors or the Y cursors for adjustment with the Entry knob.

• X1 and X2 — adjust horizontally and normally measure time.

• Y1 and Y2 — adjust vertically and normally measure voltage.

• X1 X2 and Y1 Y2 — move the cursors together when turning the Entry knob.

N O T E	If you intend to make cursor measurements on a trace that you recall from
	memory, be sure to recall both setup and trace. See “To recall waveform
	trace and/or oscilloscope setup” on page 328.
	For more information about using the cursors, see “To make
	cursor measurements” on page 232.
