Voltage Measurements
Once the top and base calculations are completed, most of the voltage
measurements can be made.
Vmin = voltage of the absolute minimum level
Vmax = voltage of the absolute maximum level
Vp-p = Vmax ~ Vmin
Vbase = voltage of the statistical minimum level
Vtop = voltage of the statistical maximum level
Vamp = Vtop ~ Vbase
Vbase may be equal to Vmin for many waveforms, such as triangle
waveforms. Likewise, Vtop may be equal to Vmax. Figure 13-9 shows where
these waveform definitions occur.
