Area
Obtains the area value (V•s) enclosed by the
zero position (point of zero potential) and the
signal waveform. When calculation of the
range specified by the A/B cursors is selected,
the calculated area is constrained to the wave
-
form between the cursors.

Obtains the area value (V
2
) of an X-
Y composite waveform. The areas
within the lines are calculated as
shown in the figures on the left. The
calculation is available even if the X-
Y composite waveform is not intend-
ed for display.
To enable area calculation, specify
the calculation range using the A/B
cursors (Voltage axis or Trace) on
the waveform of each channel for X-
Y composition. (The area cannot be
specified directly by A/B cursors on
the X-Y waveform.)
