simple voltage divider

I'm taking the Great Courses "Understanding Modern Electronics" course. First assignment build a voltage divider using 6 volt battery and 3 resistors. Easy to build in CD, a pain in the a** in Do Circuits. However, my assignment is to measure the voltage across certain points. How do you meter circuits or can you not do that with the trial version? Thanks

Please see:

and:

You can make up plot expressions like:

V(node1)-V(node2)

to plot a voltage difference.

You can do similar things to measure currents.
