of function traces open; for example, if there is an FFT trace, there is an option for Hz. The cursor lines
are placed on the traces that normally display X-axis values in the selected units.
Cursor Settings
Display Cursors
Use either of the following methods to quickly turn on/off cursors:
l From the menu bar, choose Cursors then select the desired from the drop-down list.
l On the Front Panel, press the Cursor Type button repeatedly to scroll through all the cursor types.
Stop when the desired type is displayed
Position Cursors
With the cursor on, turn the Front Panel Cursors knob. If there is more than one cursor line, push the
Cursor knob until the correct line is selected, then turn the knob to move it.
OR
Touch and drag the cursor line to a new position.
Standard Cursors Dialog
These controls can be used in lieu of the Front Panel controls to set cursors. Access the dialog by
choosing Cursors > Cursors Setup from the menu bar.
Cursors On displays or hide cursor lines. When first checked, the last selected cursor type is displayed.
Cursor Type buttons select the type of cursor displayed on the grid.
The Show controls determine which values appear on the trace descriptor box readout, particularly when
using relative cursors:
l Absolute - shows specific voltages for the two cursor locations.
l Delta - shows the difference between the specific voltages at the cursor locations.
l Abs+Delta - shows both the specific voltages and the difference between the specific voltages at
the cursor locations.
l Slope - shows the slope of the waveform between the cursor locations.
The Position controls at the right-side of the Standard Cursors dialog display the current cursor location
and can be used to set a new location. The options available depend on the Cursor Type and Show
settings.
l X 1/2 - positive or negative time from the zero point.
l Y 1/2 - number of positive or negative divisions from the zero level. May be a fraction of a division.
l Track - locks both cursor lines so that they move together, maintaining their same relative distance
from each other.
