Cursors Page (Display Properties Dialog Box)

Click the Properties button on the Data View tab or right-click a display and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display the Display Properties dialog box. Select the Cursors tab to display this page.

Use this page to configure the appearance and behavior of cursors on a graph or chart display.

This page includes the following components:

• Show Cursors—Specifies whether to display cursors on the selected graph display. Place a checkmark in this checkbox to enable the components on the Cursors page.
• Cursor—Specifies the cursor you want to configure.
• Settings—Contains the following components:
  • Line style—Specifies the line style of the cursor.
  • Line width—Specifies the line width of the cursor.
  • Point style—Specifies the style of the point where the crosshairs of the cursor intersect.
  • Crosshair style—Specifies the style of the crosshairs of the cursor.
  • Peak Threshold—Specifies the value a signal must cross before LabVIEW SignalExpress recognizes peak values.
  • Peak Width—Specifies how far above the Peak Threshold value a signal must be before LabVIEW SignalExpress recognizes peak values.
  • Cursor color—Specifies the color of the cursor.
  • Linked to plot—Specifies the plot to which to link the cursor.
  • Link Cursors—Specifies whether to link the cursors on the selected plot to each other. If you place a checkmark in this checkbox, moving Cursor 1 moves both cursors simultaneously. Moving Cursor 2 moves only that cursor and changes the distance between the linked cursors.
• Measurements—Contains the following components for configuring the measurements that appear in the cursor legend:
  • Cursor Measurements—Displays the measurements you can display in the cursor legend, export as step inputs, and bind to step parameters. This table includes the following columns:
    • Name—Displays the names of the cursor measurements.
    • Show—Specifies whether LabVIEW SignalExpress displays the cursor measurements in the cursor legend.
    • Export—Specifies whether LabVIEW SignalExpress exports the cursor measurements. If you place a checkmark in the Export checkbox for a cursor measurement, you can use the value of the measurement as a step input.
    • Bind—Specifies whether to bind the value of a cursor measurement to a step parameter. Click the button in the Bind column for a cursor measurement to display the Binding Selection dialog box. Use the Binding Selection dialog box to select the parameter to which to bind the cursor measurement.

    Note  When you bind a cursor measurement to a step parameter, LabVIEW SignalExpress exports the cursor measurement automatically.

  • Track Minimum—Specifies whether the cursor tracks the current minimum value of the signal plot to which you link the cursor. If you place a checkmark in this checkbox and run the project continuously, the cursor moves when LabVIEW SignalExpress detects a new minimum value.
  • Track Maximum—Specifies whether the cursor tracks the current maximum value of the signal plot to which you link the cursor. If you place a checkmark in this checkbox and run the project continuously, the cursor moves when LabVIEW SignalExpress detects a new maximum value.
• Linking—Contains the following component for configuring the linking of cursors on different displays:
  • Linking—Lists displays with cursors to which you can link the cursor on the display you are configuring. Place a checkmark in the checkbox next to a display name to link the cursors on the two displays. Cursors you link across displays move simultaneously when you move one of the cursors.
