Trend cursors help you view your data with precision by showing trend lines' exact values at specific timestamps. For a selected timestamp, a trend cursor shows the values for all of the trace lines that appear on the trend symbol. You can move a trend cursor left or right to change its timestamp and the values automatically update. If you are using a display that has multiple trend symbols, each trend cursor appears on all of the trend symbols, with each trend cursor remaining synchronized to a single timestamp if moved.
