distance (time or voltage) from the Cursor 1. However, moving Cursor 2 does not move Cursor 1.
Cursor measurements
Because cursor measurements give immediate feedback on the amplitude or time values they measure,
they are usually quick to take and are more accurate than graticule measurements. Also, since you can
position cursors wherever you want them on the waveform, they are easier to localize to a waveform
segment or feature than automatic measurements.
Cursors can measure channel, reference, and math waveforms. You must set the source of each cursor
explicitly in the Cursor Control window.
Any cursor type can be used for YT display format. XY display format can only use Screen or Waveform
cursors.
To use c ursors, simply move the cursors on screen and read the results in the cursor readouts. The
following key points will help you use the cursors effectively.
