To avoid these bias effects, the instrument uses cyclic
parameters, including crms and cmean, that restrict the
calculation to an integer number of cycles.
The oscilloscope enables accurate differential time
measurements between two traces — for example, propagation,
setup and hold delays (Fig. D–3).
Parameters such as ∆c2d± require the transition polarity of the
clock and data signals to be specified.
