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.
1Connect a signal to the oscilloscope and obtain a stable
display.
2Press 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.
For more information about using the cursors, see “To make
cursor measurements” on page 232.
NOTE 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.
