Waveform Measurements
Measuring with Cursors
Overview
Cursors are important tools that aid you in measuring signal values. Cursors
are markers — lines, cross-hairs, or arrows — that you can move around the
grid or the waveform itself. Use cursors to make fast, accurate measurements
and to eliminate guesswork. There are two basic types:

Horizontal (Time or Frequency) cursors are lines that you move
horizontally along the waveform. Place them at a desired location along
the time axis to read the signal’s amplitude at the selected time.

Vertical (Voltage) cursors are lines that you move vertically on the grid to
measure the amplitude of a signal.
Cursor Measurement Icons
The Show icons depict what is being measured for each measurement mode.
Absolute Each cursor locates a point on the waveform. The cursor values
can be read in the descriptor label for the trace. Use the Position
fields at the right side of the dialog to place the cursors precisely.
Delta This is the difference in Y values. The value can be read in the
descriptor label for the trace.
Abs+Delta Displays absolute and delta cursors together.
Slope This gives the slope between cursors.
