Measurement Description
Positive
Pulse
Count
The number of positive pulses that rise above the mid reference
crossing in the waveform o r gated region.
Negative
Pulse
Count
The number of negative pulses that fall below the mid reference
crossing in the waveform o r gated region.
Area Area measurement is a voltage over time measurement. It returns
the area over the entire waveform or gated region in volt-seconds.
Area measured above ground is positive; area measured below
ground is negative.
Cycle
Area
A voltage over time measurement. The measurement is the area
over the first cycle in the waveform or the first cycle in the gated
region expressed in volt-seconds. The area above the common
reference point is positive, and the area below the common
reference point is negative.
Cursor
Mean
The arithmetic mean of the waveform data from the selected
starting to the ending point
Cursor
RMS
Calculates a true RMS measurement of the waveform data from
the s elected starting to the ending point
Measurement Gating
Gating confines the measurement to a portion of a waveform defined by the
cursors. To use:
1. Push the Measure front panel button.
2. Push
the Measure Gating On/Off side bezel button.
