Measurement name Definition
Amplitude Measured over the entire waveform.
Amplitude = High (100%) – Low (0%)
Burst
Width
The duration of a burst. Measured over the entire
waveform.
Cycle
Mean
The arithmetic mean over the first cycle in the
waveform.
Cycle
RMS
The true Root Mean Square voltage over the first
cycle in the waveform.
Fall Time Time that the falling edge of the first pulse in the
waveform takes to fall from 90% to 10% of its
amplitude.
Freq-
uency
Reciprocal of the period of the first cycle in the
waveform. Measured in Hertz (Hz).
High The value used as 100%. Calculated using either
the min/max or the histogram method. Measured
over the entire waveform.
Low The value used as 0%. Calculated using either the
min/max or the histogram method. Measured over
the entire waveform.
Max The maximum amplitude. The most positive peak
voltage measured over the entire waveform.
Mean The arithmetic mean over the entire waveform.
Min The minimum amplitude. The most negative peak
voltage measured over the entire waveform.
