Measurement Tutorial 3
For periodic signals, the combination of crest factor and repetition rate
can suggest the amount of high–frequency content and associated
measurement error. The first zero crossing of a simple pulse occurs at
This gives an immediate impression of the high- frequency content by
identifying where this crossing occurs as a function of crest
factor:
The following table shows the typical error for various pulse waveforms as
a function of input pulse frequency:
This table gives an additional error for each waveform, to be added to the
value from the accuracy table provided in the Specifications chapter.
Example: A pulse train with level 1 V
rms
, is measured on the 1 V range. It
has pulse heights of 3 V (that is, a Crest Factor of 3) and duration 111
m
s.
The prf can be calculated to be 1000 Hz, as follows:
Thus, from the table above, this AC waveform can be measured with 0.18
percent additional error.
Typical error for square wave, triangular wave, and pulse trains of CF=3, 5, or 10
