:MEASure Commands 
 
MSO1000Z/DS1000Z supports the auto measurement of the following 37 waveform parameters and 
provides the statistic function for the measurement results. In additional, you can use the frequency 
counter to make more precise frequency measurement. The :MEASure commands are used to set and 
query the measurement parameters.   
 
1.  Time Parameters 
Defined as the time between the threshold middle points of two consecutive, 
like-polarity edges. 
Defined as the reciprocal of period. 
The time for the signal amplitude to rise from the lower limit to the upper limit of the 
threshod. 
The time for the signal amplitude to fall from the upper limit to the lower limit of the 
threshod. 
The time difference between the threshold middle point of a rising edge to that of the 
next falling edge of the pulse. 
The time difference between the threshold middle point of a falling edge to that of the 
next rising edge of the pulse. 
The ratio of the positive pulse width to the period. 
The ratio of the negative pulse width to the period. 
The time corresponding to the waveform maximum value (Vmax). 
The time corresponding to the waveform minimum value (Vmin). 
 
 
 
 
2.  Count Values 
The number of positive pulses that rise from below the threshold lower limit to above 
the threshold upper limit.
