W
^
(t)dt
where:
W(t) is the sampled waveform
^
()
is the continuous function obtained by linear interpolation of W(t)
A and B are numbers between 0.0 and –1.0
If A and B are integers, then:

Measurements on Envelope Waveforms
Time measurements on envelope waveforms must be treated differently from
time measurements on other waveforms, because envelope waveforms contain so
many apparent crossings. Unless otherwise noted, envelope waveforms use either
the minima or the maxima (but not both), determined in the following manner:
1. Step through the waveform from to until the sample min and max
pair DO NOT straddle .
2. If the pair > , use the minima, else use maxima.
