Minimum
Amplitude (voltage) measurement of the minimum amplitude. Typically the
most negative peak voltage.
Multipurpose knobs
Front-panel knobs you can use to change the value of the assigned parameter.
NAND
A logic (Boolean) function in which the output of the AND function is
complemented (true becomes false, and false becomes true). On the
oscilloscope, this is a trigger logic pattern and state function.
Negative duty cycle
A timing measurement representing the ratio of the negative pulse width to
the signal period, expressed as a percentage.
Negative overshoot measurement
Amplitude (voltage) measurement.
NegativeOvershoot =
Low − Min
Amplitude
× 100%
Negative width
A timing measurement of the distance (time) between two amplitude
points — falling-edge MidRef (default 50%) and rising-edge MidRef (default
50%) — on a negative pulse.
Normal trigger mode
A mode in which the oscilloscope does not acquire a waveform record unless
a valid trigger event occurs. It waits for a valid trigger event before acquiring
waveform data.
NOR
A logic (Boolean) function in which the output of the OR function is
complemented (true becomes false, and false becomes true). On the
oscilloscope, this is a trigger logic pattern and state function.
OR
A logic (Boolean) function in which the output is true if any of the inputs are
true. Otherwise the output is false. On the oscilloscope, this is a trigger logic
pattern and state function.
Oscilloscope
An instrument for making a graph of two factors. These are typically voltage
versus time.
