To use the cursor for a Voltage measurement on CH1, perform the following steps:
1. Press the MENU key; the function menu will then display at the right of the
screen.
2. Press the MENU ▲ or MENU ▼ key to select Curs Meas. Five (5) selectable
options (MS46) or two (2) selectable options (MS420) appear at the bottom of
the screen.
3. Press the F1 key to select the measurement type Voltage. Two dashed lines
V1 and V2 will appear on the screen.
4. Press the F2 key to select CH 1.
5. Press OPTION and the display will show the following:
Cursor 2
Cursor 1
Use ▲ (yellow) and ▼ (yellow) to move V1 up and down; the voltage value
(relative to the zero position) will display at the bottom of the screen. Use ◄
(yellow) and ► (yellow) to move V2 up and down; the voltage value (relative
to the zero position) will display at the bottom of the screen. The display will
also show the result of V1 - V2. Refer to Figure 36-a.
