Taking Cursor Measurements
Because cursor measurements give immediate feedback of the amplitude or time
values they measure, they are usually quick to take and are more accurate than
graticule measurements. Since you position cursors wherever you want them on
the waveform, they are easier to localize to a waveform segment or feature than
automatic measurements.
