Measurement Description
RMS The true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform or gated region.
Cycle RMS The true Root Mean Square voltage over the first cycle in the w aveform or the first
cycle in the gated region.

Positive Pulse
Count
The numb
er of positive pulses that rise above the mid reference crossing in the waveform
or gated region.
Negativ
ePulse
Count
The number of negative pulses that fall below the mid reference crossing in the waveform
or gated region.
Rising Edge
Count
The number of positive transitions from the low reference value to the high reference
value
in the waveform or gated region.
Falling Edge
Count
The nu
mber of negative transitions from the high reference value to the low reference
value in the waveform or gated region.
Area Avol
tage over time measurement. The measurement returns the area over the entire
waveform or gated region in volt-seconds. Area measured above ground is positive;
area measured below ground is negative.
Cycle A rea A voltage over time measurement. The measurement is the area over the first cycle
in t
he 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 c ommon
reference point is negative.
