Preshoot
Preshoot is distortion that precedes a major edge transition expressed as a 
percentage of Amplitude. The X cursors show which edge is being 
measured (edge closest to the trigger reference point).
Average
Average is the sum of the levels of the waveform samples divided by the 
number of samples.
Where x
i
 = value at ith point being measured, n = number of points in 
measurement interval.
The Full Screen measurement interval variation measures the value on all 
displayed data points.
The N Cycles measurement interval variation measures the value on an 
integral number of periods of the displayed signal. If less than three edges 
are present, the measurement shows "No edges".
The X cursors show what interval of the waveform is being measured.
