In the world of electronic measurements, the ZOYI ZT-703S oscilloscope multimeter stands out as a versatile and powerful tool. One of its key features is the cursor measurement function, which plays a crucial role in obtaining accurate and detailed measurements of waveforms. In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into how this function works and how you can make the most of it.
Understanding the Need for Cursor Measurement
When working with waveforms, there are often times when you need to measure specific segments of a waveform to determine its amplitude or time parameters. This could be for analyzing the performance of a circuit, debugging a complex electronic system, or simply understanding the characteristics of a signal. The cursor measurement function in the ZT-703S allows you to do just that with ease.
Accessing the Cursor Measurement Function
To access the cursor measurement function, start by pressing the MENU
key on the device. Then, press the right arrow key to enter the sixth page of the extended function menu. You’ll see options related to cursor measurement here.
Types of Cursor Measurements
Horizontal Cursor Measurement
Once you’ve opened the horizontal cursor axis, return to the main menu. Press the Mittauskursori
button and choose the upper and lower cursor axes to move. As you move the cursors, you can read the voltage value between the two cursor axes. This is extremely useful for measuring the voltage difference between two points on a waveform, which can help you analyze signal amplitudes, offsets, and more.
Vertical Cursor Measurement
For vertical cursor measurement, open the vertical cursor axis. Return to the main menu and press the Mittauskursori
button. Now, use the left and right cursor axes to move. You can then read the time value between the two cursor axes. This is great for measuring the time interval between two events on a waveform, such as the period of a signal or the time delay between different parts of a complex waveform.
Horizontal and Vertical Cursor Measurement
If you need to measure both voltage and time simultaneously, you can open both the horizontal and vertical cursor axes at the same time. After that, press the Mittauskursori
button and move the upper, lower, left, and right cursor axes as needed. You can then read the values between the upper and lower, as well as left and right cursors. This comprehensive measurement approach provides a more complete understanding of the waveform’s characteristics.
