Measuring Waveforms
TDS 500C, TDS 600B, & TDS 700C User Manual 3–119
When gating is activated, vertical cursors are displayed. Use these cursors to
define the section of the waveform you want the oscilloscope to measure. (This
section is called the gated region.) Do the following steps to gate a measurement:
1. TDS 600B: Press MEASURE ➞ Gating (main) ➞ Gate with V Bar
Cursors (side). (See Figure 3–57.)
2. TDS 500C and TDS 700C: Press MEASURE ➞ Measure (pop-up) ➞
Gating (main) ➞ Gate with V Bar Cursors (side). (See Figure 3–57.)

3. Using the general purpose knob, move the selected (the active) cursor. Press
SELECT to change which cursor is active.
Displaying the cursor menu and turning V Bar cursors off will not turn
gating off. (Gating arrows remain on screen to indicate the area over which
the measurement is gated.) You must turn gating off in the Gating side menu.
