Data Cursor command

Enables/disables the display of the data cursor (cross hair).

When enabled, the data cursor can be traced over the entire XY plot (with the data cursor scroll bar), allowing you to examine every data point in the XY plot of the first group (or combination) of X and Y channels. Note that you must stop the plotting process to select this command.

When selected, a check mark (3) is displayed on the View menu preceding the Data Cursor command and the data cursor cross hair appears on the XY plot. The scroll bar arrows or the slider control (thumb box) can now be used to trace the cross hair over the XY plot, point by point. This reveals for every data point in the first group; the X axis value, the Y axis value, and the index or elapsed time from when the very first data pair were plotted.

A second activation of this command removes the data cursor from the display and removes the check mark from the View menu. All subsequent activations toggle the display of the data cursor (cross hair).
