timestamp of the cursors as well as the difference on the y-axis between the
cursors.
For performance reasons, V8.6 initially shows a signal value based on the min-
imum value of the file index. As long as index data is used, a rounding symbol
appears in front of the tooltips and in the cursor's column in the signal list. The
rounding symbol automatically disappears as soon as the cursor is not moved
anymore, then the exact values are loaded in the oscilloscope.
All cursor and sample values are displayed as separate columns in the signal list.
Also, the value differences of the cursors are displayed. To avoid a change in size
of the signal list when adding and removing cursors, the signal list size has to be
adapted manually by moving the splitter bar between oscilloscope area and sig-
nal list.
You can perform the following actions:
"To show and hide cursors" below
"To delete cursors" on the next page
"To move a cursor sample-wise" on the next page
"To anchor a cursor to a position in the visible range" on the next page
"To switch the synchronization cursor" on page67
"To hide and unhide the cursor's tooltips" on page67
"To copy the signal values at cursor's position" on page67
"To change the number of decimals of the cursor's tooltips" on page67
"To send the cursor time to EHANDBOOK-NAVIGATOR" on page68
