Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page
Three cursors are available. These are:

Data Cursor


   el_ds1m12_data cursor icon


Missed Sample Cursor

   el_ds1m12_missed cursor icon


Marker Cursor


   el_ds1m12_memo cursor icon



They have different colours and names to allow them to be distinguished easily.

By right clicking on the cursor icons on the main toolbar, the user may select whether the cursor is associated with channel A or channel B by selecting the desired channel from the pop-up menu (shown below).

   el_ds1m12_cursor sub-menu


Each of the cursors can be moved by dragging the name label horizontally. Vertical dragging will have no effect as the cursors automatically track the data line.

The x and y coordinates of each active cursor are displayed in the Cursor Panel at the bottom left of the main window.

The delta column can be made to display the differences in x and y between two of the cursors. Right click on the word "Delta" and the following menu will appear:

   el_ds1m12_cursor pop-up menu


Selecting "Data - Missed", "Data - Marker" or "Missed - Marker" will display the differences between those cursors. The delta values can be turned off by selecting "Off". The following example shows the differences in x and y values between the Data and Missed cursors for the trace given above.
