The following selections can be made:

-   'TIME'

The distance between the TIME cursors is expressed in sec­
onds,

-   T/TIME"

The  distance between the TIME cursors is expressed in Herz,

-   ’RATIO'

The distance between the TIME cursors is expressed in a 
percentage of a previous set distance between the cursors 

(100%) and the current distance (xx%) between the cursors.

The ratio is set to  100%  at the moment the ’RATIO’ bezel 

button is pushed,

-   ’PHASE'

The distance between the TIME cursors is expressed in de­
grees of a previous set  distance between the cursors [360°) 
and the current distance  (xx°) between the cursors.
