CURSor:VBArs?

Might return CURSOR:VBARS:UNITS SECONDS;

POSITION1 1.00E–6;POSITION2 9.00E–6

CURSor:VBArs:DELTa? (Query Only)

Returns the time or frequency difference between the two vertical

bar cursors. T he units (seconds or Hert z) are specified by the

CURSor:VBArs:UNIts command. If the cursor source is an FFT

math waveform, CURSor:VBArs:DELTa is always in Hertz,

regardless of the value set by CURSor:VBArs:UNIts.
