Mean: The arithmetic mean over the entire waveform.
PK-PK: Peak-to-Peak Voltage.
RMS: The true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform.
Max: The maximum amplitude. The most positive peak voltage measured
over the entire waveform.
Min: The minimum amplitude. The most negative peak voltage measured
over the entire waveform.
Vamp: Voltage between Vtop and Vbase of a waveform.
The automatic measurement of time parameters
The oscilloscopes provide time parameters auto-measurements include
Period, Frequency, Rise Time, Fall Time, +D width and -D width.
Figure 3- 10
Rise Time: Time that the leading edge of the first pulse in the waveform
takes to rise from 10% to 90% of its amplitude.
Fall Time: Time that the falling edge of the first pulse in the waveform
takes to fall from 90% to 10% of its amplitude.
