Measurements on envelope waveforms
Time measurements on envelope waveforms must be treated differently from time measurements on other waveforms, because
envelope waveforms contain so many apparent crossings. Unless otherwise noted, envelope waveforms use either the minima or
the maxima (but not both), determined in the following manner:
1. Step through the waveform from Start to End until the sample min and max pair do not straddle MidRef.
Figure 24: Choosing Minima or Maxima to Use for Envelope Measurements
2. If the pair > MidRef, use the minima, else use maxima.
If all pairs straddle MidRef, use maxima. See the figure.
The Burst Width measurement always uses both maxima and minima to determine crossings.
