Voltage Parameters 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
1.  Vmax: the voltage value from the highest point of the waveform to the GND. 
2.  Vmin: the voltage value from the lowest point of the waveform to the GND.  
3.  Vpp: the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the 
waveform. 
4.  Vtop: the voltage value from the flat top of the waveform to the GND.  
5.  Vbase: the voltage value from the flat base of the waveform to the GND.  
6.  Vamp: the difference between the top value and the base value of the 
waveform. 
7.  Vavg: the arithmetic average value of the voltage values of the waveform points. 
The operation formula is as follows. 
 
Wherein, 
 is the measurement result of the ith point being measured; 
 is 
the total number of points being measured. 
8.  Vrms-N: the root mean square value of the voltage values of the waveform 
points. The operation formula is as follows. 
 
Wherein, 
 is the measurement result of the ith point being measured; 
 is
