The Standard function has the instrument calculate the top-base using the
IEEE standards with a voltage histogram of the waveform that is on the
display. The instrument nds the most prevalent top and base voltage values.
Make sure there is enough of the signal displayed on the screen so that
the instrument can accurately determine the top and base values of the
waveform. However, if too much of the top and base of the waveform are
on the display, it may reduce the number of sample points on the edge of
interest which
may reduce
the
repeatability
of
your
measurements
.
A
good
rule of
thumb is
to
have
two
divisions
of
top
and
two
divisions
of
base
.
