Measurement Description
Rising Edge
Count
The number of positive transitions from the low reference value to the high reference value
in the waveform o r gated region.
Falling Edge
Count
The number of negative transitions from the high reference value to the low r efere nce value
in the waveform o r gated region.
Area A voltag e over time measurement. The measurement returns the area over the entire
waveform or gated region in volt-seconds. Are a m easured above ground is positive; area
measured below ground is negative.
Cycle Area A voltage over time measurement. The measurement is the area over the first cycle in the
waveform or the first cycle in the gated region expressed in volt-seconds. The area above
the common reference point is positive, and the area below the co mmon referen ce point is
negative.
