Levels Used in Taking Amplitude, Timing, and Area Measurements
Refer to Figure B--1 and the descriptions that follow to interpret the definitions
of waveforms in categories Amplitude, T iming, and Area. Low reference, mid
reference, and high reference are the default reference levels and are adjustable.
