Chapter 8 Waveform Screen Monitoring and Analysis
Time difference, frequency and potential difference (and when scaling is
enabled, scaling values) can be read as numerical values using the A/B cursors
on the Waveform screen. Refer to "8.8.5 Reading Cursor Values of X-Y Wave-
forms" (⇒ p. 202) for X-Y composite cursor values.
Waveforms and cursor values can be displayed separately by pressing the DISP
key. (⇒ p. 189)
Cursor Types
Three types of cursor are available.
The cursor type is set in the setting dialog for A/B Cursors.

Cursor A Values
How cursor values are
displayed depends on
the selected cursor type.
(Vertical Cursor case)
Frequencies
Indicates the cursor type when
using A/B cursors.
Waveform values at the intersection
with each cursor are displayed.

Cursor Type Description Example
Vertical
Cursors
Displays the time and frequency values at the A/B
cursors, or the time and frequency differences be-
tween the A/B cursors.
Time value (t): the time from the trigger point or re-
cording start
Frequency (f): the frequency having period t
Horizontal
Cursors
Displays the measurement values at the A and B
cursors for the selected channel(s), or the differ-
ence between A/B cursor values.
A/B cursors can be enabled on any channel.
Trace
Cursors
Displays the time and measurement values at the
A/B cursors, or the time and measurement differ-
ences between the A/B cursors.
Memory Function:
Displays the intersections (trace points) of cursors
and waveforms. (the intersections of waveform
traces of selected channels)
Recorder Function:
The cursor intersection with the waveform is ap-
plied at the maximum and minimum values.
