Standard Waveform Definitions
The following definitions of voltage and timing measurements will help
you understand just what each measurement consists of. This
information might be important in helping you interpret measurement
results.
Voltage Measurements
Once the top and base calculations area 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 13-10 shows
where these waveform definitions occur.
