Time Measurements
The following figure shows time measurement points.
The default lower, middle, and upper measurement thresholds are 10%, 
50%, and 90% between Top and Base values. See "Measurement 
Thresholds" on page 186 for other percentage threshold and absolute value 
threshold settings.

Period
Period is the time period of the complete waveform cycle. The time is 
measured between the middle threshold points of two consecutive, 
like- polarity edges. A middle threshold crossing must also travel through 
the lower and upper threshold levels which eliminates runt pulses. The X 
cursors show what portion of the waveform is being measured. The Y 
cursor shows the middle threshold point.
