This property can have a value between 0 and the number of data points minus 1.Cursor ModeSpecifies the way in which the cursor snaps to the plots in the plot area. Valid values include 0 (Free), 1 (Single-plot), and 2 (Multi-plot).Cursor NameText displayed in the plot area that is associated with the cursor.Cursor Name VisibleIf TRUE, displays the cursor name in the plot area.Cursor PlotPlot with which the cursor is associated. If Plot is –1, the cursor snaps to all plots in the plot area. You can move the cursor to the nearest data point along any plot in the plot area.Cursor Point StyleThe symbol that, in combination with Style, is drawn at the focal point of the cursor. Valid values are 0-16, as shown on the shortcut menu of the plot legend from top-left to bottom-right.Cursor PositionPosition of cursor in terms of X-Y coordinates.Cursor Position:Cursor XThe X coordinate of the cursor in the plot area. Position:X is in the coordinate system of the X Scale value that is associated with the cursor or plot.Cursor Position:Cursor YThe Y coordinate of the cursor in the plot area. Position:Y is in the coordinate system of the Y Scale value that is associated with the cursor or plot.Cursor Selection ColorColor of the cursor row selected in the cursor legend.Cursor StyleThe symbol that, in combination with Point Style, is drawn at the focal point of the cursor. Valid values are 0-8, from top-left to bottom-right, as shown when you right-click a cursor in the cursor legend and select Attributes»Cursor Style from the shortcut menu.Line StyleSpecifies the line style of the active cursor. Valid values are 0–4, as shown on the shortcut menu of the plot legend and on the Cursors page of the Properties dialog box ordered from top to bottom.Line WidthSpecifies the width of the line used to display the active cursor. Valid values are 0–4, as shown on the shortcut menu of the plot legend and on the Cursors page of the Properties dialog box ordered from top to bottom.Plot AreaThe plot area with which the cursor is associated. This property applies only to Mixed Signal graphs.VisibleShows the cursor.Watch All PlotsIf TRUE, the cursor watches all plots in the plot area. If FALSE, the cursor watches only the plots specified by the Watch Plots property. This property is valid only for cursors that are associated with multiple plots.Watch PlotsArray that contains the indexes of the plots that the cursor is watching when the Watch All Plots property is set to FALSE. This property is valid only for cursors that are associated with multiple plots.X ScaleSets the x-scale of the cursor. This property is valid only for free cursors. When the cursor is associated with a plot, this property might be overwritten by the plot.Y ScaleSets the y-scale of the cursor. This property is valid only for free cursors. When the cursor is associated with a plot, this property might be overwritten by the plot.
