Scope Trace Interface

Measurement cursors for the Scope window are provided to the edges (left, right, top and bottom) of the Grid Display. You can bring a cursor into the grid by placing the mouse cursor outside of the grid, clicking and holding the left mouse button, and dragging it onto the grid.

Right-clicking on the grid will bring up the Grid Parameters menu, shown in Figure 2.
