ABSTRACT:
In an oscilloscope, a readout control circuit is adapted to create a horizontal cursor on an oscilloscope screen at a vertical level controlled by cursor level data generated by a microcomputer, and to cause the beam to form characters on the screen indicating a voltage represented by the vertical level of the cursor. Vertical offset and vertical gain parameters characterizing a vertical preamplifier system controlling display of a waveform are measured and utilized to determine the value of cursor level data needed to cause the readout control circuit to position the cursor on the screen to accurately reflect a selected voltage with respect to voltage magnitudes represented by points on the displayed waveform. The oscilloscope is adapted to measure peak magnitudes of a vertical preamplifier input signal, and the readout control circuit permits the oscilloscope to display a cursor on a screen at a level indicating the magnitude of the measured peak with respect to magnitudes represented by a displayed waveform.
