How to measure a time difference

Find the time ruler handle (the small white square in the bottom left corner of the

scope view ).

Drag the ruler handle to the right. A time ruler (vertical broken line) will appear

on the scope view. Release the ruler handle when the ruler is at the time you wish

to use as the reference.

Drag the second white ruler handle to the right until its ruler is at the time to be

measured.

Look at the ruler legend (the small table that appears on the scope view). It

should have a row marked by a small white square. The first two columns show the

times of the two rulers, and the third column shows the time difference.

The frequency legend shows 1/ , where is the time difference.

You can use a similar method to measure a frequency difference on a spectrum view.
