The horizontal and vertical measurement cursors can be used to take time and amplitude readings from the waveform display. To display the cursors, click the associated button on the tool bar. The cursors can then be moved by dragging the white ‘button’ at the bottom or left of the Waveform view area.
The readouts are displayed in the button on the tool bar of the window.
The left reading is the time difference between the vertical (time) cursors. The accuracy of these readings depends on the current scaling factor, since at large scales one pixel may represent several seconds. Beside this value is the reciprocal value, i.e. frequency.
The right reading is the difference in counts between the top and bottom
(amplitude) cursors. If the conversion factor of the digitiser is known, this value can be used to determine the input voltage to the digitiser.
