Table 2-56: Math expression elements (cont.)
Element Description Example
NWIdth(<wfm>)
Negative pulse width: the distance
(time) between the mid reference
(default 50%) amplitude points of a
negative pulse. The measurement is
made on the first pulse in the waveform
or gated region.
:MATH:DEFINE "NWIDTH(CH 1)"
PDUTy(<wfm>) Positive duty cycle: the ratio of the
positive pulse width to the signal period
expressed as a percentage. duty cycle
is measured on the first cycle in the
waveform or gated region.
:MATH:DEF
INE "PDUTY(CH1)"
PERIod(<wfm>) The time required to c omplete the first
cycle in a waveform o r gated region.
Period is the reciprocal of frequency
and is measured in seconds.
:MATH:DEFINE "PERIOD(CH 1)"
PHAse(<wfm>) The amount of time that one waveform
leads or lags another waveform,
expressed in degrees where 360°
makes up one waveform cycle. See
also Delay.
:MATH:DEFINE
"PHASE(CH1,CH2)"
PK2pk(<wfm>) Peak to peak: the absolute difference
between the maximum and minimum
amplitude in the entire waveform or
gated region.
:MATH:DEFINE "PK2PK(CH1 )"
POVershoot(<wfm>)
Positive overshoot: this is measured
over the entire w aveform or gated
region and is expressed as: Positive
Overshoot = (Maximum – High) /
Amplitude x 100%.
:MATH:DEFINE
"POVERSHOOT(CH1)"
PWIdth(<wfm>) Positive pulse width: the distance (time)
between the mid reference (default
50%) amplitude points of a positive
pulse. The measurement is made on
the first pulse in the waveform or gated
region.
:MATH:DEFINE "PWIDTH(CH 1)"
RISe(<wfm>) The time required for the leading edge
of the first pulse in the w aveform
or gated region to rise from the low
reference value (default = 10% ) to the
high reference value (default = 90% ) of
the final value.
:MATH:DEFINE "RISE(CH1) "
RMS(<wfm>) The true Root Mean Square voltage
over the entire w aveform or gated
region.
:MATH:DEFINE "RMS(CH1)"
SINe<wfm> Sine measurement of <wfm>
:MATH:DEFINE "SINE(CH1) "
