voltages along the interval spanned by the two cursor voltages:
10%, 20%, 27%, 50%, 73%, 80%, and 90%.  These voltages are used
10%, 20%, 27%, 50%, 73%, 80%, and 90%.  These voltages are used
for making measurements such at the 10%-to-90% rise time.   
for making measurements such as the 10%-to-90% rise time.  In this
case, a counter is reset and started when the signal passes through
the 10% voltage.  The counter counts the number of cycles of a
built-in crystal clock.  When the signal reaches the 90% voltage,
the counter is stopped and the count is displayed on the nixie
tube digital numeric readout.  The units and decimal place of the
digital unit are controlled switch contacts on the timing unit plug-in,
which connect to the digital unit through a multipin connector in
the 567.
