Measurement Description
Positive Pulse
Width
The distance (time) be twe en the mid reference (default 50%) amplitude points of a positive
pulse. The measure m ent is made o n the first pulse in the w avef orm or gated region.
Negative Pulse
Width
The distance (time) between the mid reference (default 50%) amplitude po ints of a negative
pulse. The measure m ent is made o n the first pulse in the w avef orm or gated region.
Positive Duty
Cycle
The ratio of the positive pulse width to the signal period expressed as a perce ntage. The duty
cycle is measured on the first cycle in the waveform or gated region.
Negative Duty
Cycle
The ratio of the negative pulse width to the signal period expressed as a percentage. The
duty cycle is measured on the fi rst cycle in the waveform or gated region.
Burst Width
The duration of a burst (a series of trans ient events) and is measured over the entire
waveform or gated region.
