Oscilloscope Reference Noise peak-to-peak
Noise peak-to-peak
Noise p-p is the peak-to-peak value of the noise of the top or base of the signal as specified by you.
To ensure accurate noise values, be sure to set the signal type t o Eye when measuring an Eye signal.
Noise Pk-Pk = PToppk-pk or PBasepk-p k
Noise root mean square
Noise RMS is the RMS value of the noise of the top or base of the signal as specified by you.
To ensure
accurate noise values, be sure t o set the signal type to Eye when measuring an Eye signal.
Noise RMS = PTopsigma or PBasesigma
Normal trigger mode
Normal trigger mode causes the instrument to wait for a valid trigger event before displaying waveform
data. Normal trigger mode is most useful during single-shot acquisitions.
Nyquist frequency
The highest frequency that any digital oscilloscope can measure without errors is one-half of the sample
rate or frequency. This frequency is called the Nyquist frequency.
The FFT waveform displays the input signal frequency components from DC (0 Hz) to the Nyquist
frequency.
