Peak to Peak
This voltage measurement is the absolute difference between the maximum and minimum amplitude
in the entire waveform or gated region.
RMS
This voltage measurement is the true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform or gated
region.
High
The high level measurement is the value used as 100% whenever high reference, mid reference, or
low reference values are needed, such as in fall time or rise time measurements. This value can be
calculated using either the min/max or histogram method. The min/max method uses the maximum
value fo
und. The histogram method uses the most common value found above the midpoint. This
value is measured over the entire waveform or gated region.
Low
The lo
w level measurement is the value used as 0% whenever high reference, mid reference, or low
reference v alues are needed, such as in fall time or rise time measurements.
This
value can be calculated using either the min/max or histogram method. The min/max method
uses the minimum value found. The histogram method uses the most common value found below the
midpoint. This value is measured over the entire waveform or gated region.
Maximum
This voltage measurement is the maximum amplitude. It is typically the most positive peak voltage
and is measured over the entire waveform or gated region.
Minimum
This voltage measurement is the minimum amplitude. It is typically the most negative peak voltage
and is measured over the entire waveform or gated region.
Cycle RMS
This voltage measurement is the true Root Mean Square voltage over the first cycle in the waveform
or the first cycle in the gated region.
