Phase cursors
When examining phase shift between signals, or examining other periodic signals like e.g. crankshaft signals, special Phase cursors can be switched on in the graph.
With these special cursors, the beginning and end of a cycle can be marked, which then is considered to be 0 to 360 degrees. It is also possible to mark that area as being 0 to 720 degrees, 0 to 100 % or some user defined range. The regular cursors can then be used to determine the angle of a specific position in the cycle. This angle is determined using linear interpolation between the two limits of the range.
For automotive applications, the new Phase cursors are also very useful, in identifying the different strokes of an internal combustion engine. When used in combination with a Crankshaft angle I/O, the different strokes are clearly identified in the crankshaft signal.
More information on the phase cursors and how to set them up can be found at the Graph page.
