For details on using the result box, see "Displaying results" in the "Getting Started" man-
ual.
The following information may be provided in the result box, depending on the selected
source.
Label Description
t1, t2 The time at the position of the vertical cursors.
V1, V2 The value of the waveform at the position of the horizontal cursors.
f1, f2 The frequency at the position of the vertical cursors.
Δt
Difference between the vertical cursor (time) values
BW Difference between the vertical cursor (frequency) values
ΔV
Difference between the horizontal cursor values
1/Δt
Inverse time difference
ΔV/Δt
Slope of the waveform between the cursors
Type Cursor type - horizontal, vertical, or both
Track waveform If enabled, the horizontal cursors track the peaks of the waveform
Peak
Peak search function (for spectrum results only, see chapter 5.1.3.3, "Peak
Search Tab", on page 127)
The cursors can be displayed in the source waveform diagram(s). For each measure-
ment, labels can be defined for the cursors. By default, the cursors are labeled as C1.1,
C1.2, C2.1, C2.2, C3.1, C3.2, C4.1, C4.2.
5.1.2 Performing Cursor Measurements
Cursor measurements determine the results at the current cursor positions. The cursors
can be positioned manually or can be configured to follow the waveform. Up to four sets
of cursors can be configured and displayed. Each set of cursors consists of a pair of
horizontal or vertical cursors, or both. The cursor display can also be configured.
Cursor measurements can be performed and displayed simply by tapping the "Cursor"
icon on the toolbar and then the waveform to be measured.
