Using Cursors

Cursors are used to get more precise values at certain timestamps. Moreover
cursors enable to determine differences between samples values and in view
of time. The oscilloscope shows directly in the graph the values of the signals
at the timestamp of the cursors as well as the difference on the Y-axis
between the cursors.
For performance reasons, MDA V8.6 initially shows a signal value based on the
minimum value of the file index. As long as index data is used, a rounding sym-
bol appears in front of the tooltips and in the cursor's column in the signal list.
The rounding symbol automatically disappears as soon as the cursor is not
moved anymore, then the exact values are loaded in the oscilloscope.
All cursor and sample values are displayed as separate columns in the signal
list. Also, the value differences of the cursors are displayed. To avoid a change
in size of the signal list when adding and removing cursors, the signal list size
has to be adapted manually by moving the splitter bar between oscilloscope
area and signal list.
