Figure 4- 12 Automatic measurement
The automatic measurement of voltage parameters
The oscilloscopes provide automatic voltage measurements including Mean,
PK-PK, RMS, Max, Min, Vtop, Vbase, Vamp, OverShoot, PreShoot, Cycle RMS,
and Cursor RMS. Figure 4- 13 below shows a pulse with some of the voltage
measurement points.
Figure 4- 13
Mean: The arithmetic mean over the entire waveform.
PK-PK: Peak-to-Peak Voltage.
RMS: The true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform.
Max: The maximum amplitude. The most positive peak voltage measured over
the entire waveform.
Min: The minimum amplitude. The most negative peak voltage measured over
the entire waveform.
