6.2 Example 2: Taking Cursor Measurements
You can use the cursor to quickly measure the time and amplitude of a waveform.
Measuring Ring Time (convertible to Frequency) and Amplitude on Rising Edge of Pulse
To measure the ring time on the rising edge of the pulse, follow the steps below.
1. Push the CURSOR button to view the Cursor menu.
2. Push F1 the Type option button and select Time.
3. Push F2 or F3 the Source option button and select CH1.
4. Push F4 to select a cursor. If S is selected, turn V0 to move Cursor S on the screen; if E is
selected, turn V0 to move Cursor E; if both are selected, turn V0 to move them at the same
time.
5. Put Cursor S on the first peak of the ring.
6. Put Cursor E on the second peak of the ring.
7. At Delta displays the measured time and at Cursor S an Cursor E display the positions of
these two cursors.
8. Push the Type option button and select Voltage.
9. Put Cursor S on the highest peak of the ring.
10. Put Cursor E on the lowest point of the ring. The amplitude of the ring will be displayed at
Delta.
