ltot  Local Time Over Threshold 
Definition 
The time a local feature spends over a user specified percentage of its 
peak-to-trough amplitude. 
Description 
The peak-to-trough height of a local feature is measured. The time the 
local feature spends over a user specified percent of the peak-to-trough 
height is then determined. The average for all local features in a waveform 
is displayed as ltot. Provided for histograms is the time spent over the 
threshold by each local feature between the parameter cursors. 
Parameter Settings 
Selecting this parameter from the Measure menus displays hysteresis 
and level percent menus. The associated fields allow you to set values in 
those menus: a specified number of vertical divisions or a percentage of 
the peak-to-peak height of the local feature.
