Frequency measurement descriptions

Table 4: Frequency measurements

Measurement Description

Frequency The first cycle in a waveform or

gated region. Frequency is the

reciprocal of the period; it is

measured in hertz (Hz) where

one Hz is one cycle per second.

+Pulses The number of positive pulses

that rise above the mid

reference crossing in the

waveform or gated region.

–Pulses The number of negative pulses

that fall below the mid reference

crossing in the waveform or

gated region.

+Edges The number of positive

transitions from the low

reference value to the high

reference value in the waveform

or gated region.

–Edges The number of negative

transitions from the high

reference value to the low

reference value in the waveform

or gated region.
