Cursor operation is easy, you move the cursors on screen and read the results in the
cursor readouts. The following key points will help you use the cursors effectively:
Cursor Types. The cursor types are described in Table 3--9 on page 3--161. There
are two cursors displayed for all types, Cursor 1 and Cursor 2. You can move
cursors with the multipurpose knobs or the cursor position controls in the Cursor
Setup control window.

Cursors are Display-Limited. You cannot move a cursor off screen. Also, if you
resize waveforms, the cursors do not track. That is, a cursor stays at its screen
position, ignoring changes to horizontal and vertical scale and position, and
vertical of fset (waveform cursors will track a waveform vertically).
Cursors Ignore the Selected Waveform. Each cursor measures its source, defined
in the Cursors Setup dialog box. Selecting a waveform for scaling on screen (by
pushing the CH 3 front-panel button, for example) does not change the source
that each cursor measures.
