The statistical cursors menu controls the mode and the vertical or horizontal position
of the CCDF graphical measurement cursor. This cursor can operate with either the value
of the normalized CCDF (percent probability) or the power setting as the indepenedent
variable. Whichever axis is chosen as the independent variable, the orthogonal one will
become the calculated result of the CCDF automatically.
