The measured value will be displayed at the bottom left of the screen automatically
(see Figure 4-20).
Figure 4-20 Automatic measurement
The automatic measurement of voltage parameters
The oscilloscopes provide automatic voltage measurements including Mean, PK-PK,
RMS, Max, Min, Vtop, Vbase, Vamp, OverShoot, PreShoot, Cycle RMS, and
Cursor RMS. Figure 4-21 below shows a pulse with some of the voltage
measurement points.
Figure 4-21
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.
