Is it true that one can not get cursors on the chart?

Hello again!

Now we have been aware of the problem with cursors on the waveform chart. Is it right that one can not get cursors in some way so one can measure the value between for example to timestamps? Best regards.

Yes, this is by design.

Cursors are available for graphs but not for charts.

"be careful waht you wish for, you just might get it"

Walerman is correct.

It would be a night-mare trying to keep cursors updated on a moving chart.

Hello 🙂

Yes of course it would be a nightmare to try measure during run-time :-). BUT if one wish to analyze the measurement after you pushed stop-button and would like to role it backwards to see the history and there use the cursors to measure. THAT would be nice would it not? 🙂 Best regards.

I agree!

"That button" is what I use to trigger hiding the chart and transfering the data to a previously hidden graph.

The user can then interact with the graph as normal.
