Automatic Measurements
Up to 4 automatic measurements can be calculated from the trigger
configuration conditions each time a waveform is captured.
The automatic measurements can be based on the entire record
length, the area of the waveform displayed on-screen or from a
gated region bound by the onscreen cursors.
Measurement Types
Amplitude Measurements
Pk-Pk
Difference between positive and
negative peak. (=max − min)
Max
Positive peak.
Min
Negative peak.
Amplitude
Difference between the global high
value and the global low value,
measured over the entire waveform
or gated region. (=high − low)
High
Global high voltage.
Low
Global low voltage.
Mean
The arithmetic mean value is
calculated for all data samples as
specified by the Gating option.
Cycle Mean
The arithmetic mean value is
calculated for all data samples
within the first cycle found in the
gated region.
RMS
The root mean square of all data
samples specified by the Gating
option.
