Measurement parameter description
DPO6000 / MPO6000 series oscilloscopes provide automatic measurement of 42 kinds
of waveform parameters, and statistics and analysis functions of measurement results.
In addition, users can also use the digital multimeter [DVM] to achieve more accurate
frequency measurement. Before performing the measurement operation, please under-
stand these 42 waveform parameters in detail.

Period
1. Period [P
k
-
P
k
]: Defined as the time between the middle threshold crossing points of
two consecutive, same-polarity edges.
2. Frequency: Defined as the reciprocal of the period.
3. Rise Time: The time it takes for the signal amplitude to rise from the lower threshold
to the upper threshold.
4. Fall Time: The time it takes for the signal amplitude to fall from the upper threshold
value to the lower threshold value.
