Curso
rtypes
The cursor types are:
Time or Frequency cursors. These vertical
cursors measure time or frequency, the
signal amplitude where the cursors cross the
waveform, and the absolute difference (delta)
between the two cursors cross points (both
time and amplitude delta).
Time readouts are relative to the trigger point
(which is 0 s). For example, cursors to the left
of the trigger are minus time values.
Amplitude cursors. These horizontal cursors
measure vertical amplitude parameters,
typically voltage.
