Neg
Negative overshoot of a square wave, calculated from measure-
ment values Min, Low, and Amplitude
Cycle mean
 
The mean value of one cycle
Cycle RMS
 
The RMS (root mean square) value of one cycle
Cycle σ (S-dev)
 
The standard deviation of one cycle
Trig. ProbeMeter
 
The DC voltage from the connected probe. Only available if an
active Rohde & Schwarz probe with ProbeMeter is connected.
