Application examples
With this feature, the slope of a trace can be measured. This can be especially helpful in double-
logarithmic diagrams when analyzing e.g. the slope at crossover frequency in a loop-gain
measurement (should be around -20dB/decade) or when checking for an inductive or capacitive slope
(±20dB/decade or ±6dB/octave).
The following picture shows an example of a measured loop gain where the slope at crossover is
-5.7dB/octave and therefore close to the ideal -6dB/octave.
By using the mouse, the cursors can be moved from one frequency to another and the slope can be
directly read in the cursor grid since the second cursor automatically follows at a defined distance.
