Arguments
AMPlitude measures the amplitude of the selected waveform. It measures the
high value less the low value measured over the entire waveform or gated region.
Amplitude = High – Low
AREa measures the voltage over time. The area is over the entire waveform or
gated region and is measured in volt-seconds. The area measured above the
ground is positive, while the area below ground is negative.
BURst measures the duration of a burst. The measurement is made over the entire
waveform or gated region.
CARea (cycle area) measures the voltage over time. It measures, in volt-seconds,
the area over the first cycle in the waveform or the first cycle in the gated region.
The area measured above the common reference point is positive, while the area
below the common reference point is negative.
CMEan (cycle mean) measures the arithmetic mean over the first cycle in the
waveform or the first cycle in the gated region.
CRMs (cycle rms) measures the true Root Mean Square voltage over the first
cycle in the waveform or the first cycle in the gated region.
DELay measures the time between the middle reference (default = 50%)
amplitude point of the source waveform and the destination waveform.
FALL measures the time taken for the falling edge of the first pulse in the
waveform or gated region to fall from a high reference value (default is 90%) to a
low reference value (default is 10%).
FREQuency measures the first cycle in the waveform or gated region. Frequency
is the reciprocal of the period and is measured in hertz (Hz), where 1 Hz =
1 cycle per second.
HIGH measures the High reference (100% level, sometimes called Topline) of a
waveform.
LOW measures the Low reference (0% level, sometimes called Baseline) of a
waveform.
MAXimum finds the maximum amplitude. This value is the most positive peak
voltage found. It is measured over the entire waveform or gated region.
MEAN amplitude measurement finds the arithmetic mean over the entire
waveform or gated region.
MINImum finds the minimum amplitude. This value is typically the most
negative peak voltage. It is measured over the entire waveform or gated region.
NDUty (negative duty cycle) is the ratio of the negative pulse width to the signal
period, expressed as a percentage. The duty cycle is measured on the first cycle in
the waveform or gated region. Negative Duty Cycle = ((Negative Width) /
Period) × 100%
NEDGECount is the count of falling edges.
NOVershoot (negative overshoot) finds the negative overshoot value over the
entire waveform or gated region. Negative Overshoot = ((Low – Minimum) /
Amplitude) × 100%)
NPULSECount is the count of negative pulses.
NWIdth (negative width) measurement is the distance (time) between the middle
reference (default = 50%) amplitude points of a negative pulse.
