To move a cursor sample-wise
By default, the cursors' movement mode is time-based. You can change the
movement mode to navigate a cursor from sample to sample. The selected mode
is valid for all cursors in the oscilloscope.
1. Select Switch to Sample-wise Navigation in the cursors' drop-down
menu or use the tab Instrument in the Properties window.

Depending on the location of the cursor, the cursor's line is shown as fol-

2. To move a cursor to another sample, hover over the blue line and drag it to
the new position. Alternatively, press ARROW LEFT orARROW RIGHT (the short-
cut keys apply to the active cursor).
The cursor jumps to the closest sample of the current timestamp. For nav-

account.
If you move the cursor to a position where no sample is available, the tool-
tip next to the cursor label is marked in red indicating that the cursor can-
not be moved in this direction any further.
To anchor a cursor to a position in the visible range

cursor can move outside the visible range. To keep the cursor in the visible range,
you can anchor it.
1. Hover over the cursor label at the top of the cursor (A or B).
The character changes into an anchor symbol .
