Automatic Measurements 
Up to 4 automatic measurements can be calculated from the trigger 
configuration conditions each time a waveform is captured.  
The automatic measurements can be based on the entire record 
length, the area of the waveform displayed on-screen or from a 
gated region bound by the onscreen cursors. 
Measurement Types 
 
Difference between positive and 
negative peak. (=max − min)  
Difference between the global high 
value and the global low value, 
measured over the entire waveform 
or gated region. (=high − low)  
The arithmetic mean value is 
calculated for all data samples as 
specified by the Gating option. 
The arithmetic mean value is 
calculated for all data samples 
within the first cycle found in the 
gated region. 
The root mean square of all data 
samples specified by the Gating 
option.
