Figure 3-4. Time between two pulses (cursor method). 
For best accuracy, observe the considerations in the Signal Connection 
parts of the "Operation" section and make sure the vertical delays are matched 
by connecting both probes to one signal. If the delays are not precisely 
matched,
 see "Matching Channel 2 Delay" in "Checks and Adjustments." 
Setup and
 Hold Times 
Proceed as if measuring propagation delay, treating the clock as an input and 
the data signal as an output. Use high settings of INTENSITY to observe 
variations. If setup time exceeds 30 or 40 ns, you may prefer to treat the data as 
input and the clock as output. 
If the data pattern is not repetitive giving a single valued display, do not use the 
parametric measurements for measuring setup or hold time.
