Measurement Description
Amplitude The difference between the Top value and the Base value. You can take this measurement on each
cycle in the waveform record or on the entire waveform record.
Peak-To-Peak
The absolute difference between the Maximum and Minimum amplitudes in the measurement region.
Y
ou can take this measurement on each cycle in the waveform record or on the entire waveform
record.
Positive Overshoot
3
The difference between the Maximum value and the Top value, divided by the Amplitude, and
multiplied by 100 to express the measurement as a percentage of amplitude. You can take this
measurement on each cycle in the waveform record or on the entire waveform record.
Negative Overshoot
3
The difference between the Minimum and Base values, divided by the Amplitude, and multiplied by
100 to express the measurement as a percentage of amplitude. You can take this measurement on
each cycle in the waveform record or on the entire waveform record.
Mean
The arithmetic mean of all data points over the measurement region. You can take this measurement
on each cycle in the waveform record or on the entire waveform record.
Cycle RMS
The true Root Mean Square voltage over the first cycle in the waveform or the first cycle in the gated
region.
High
This value is used as 100% whenever high reference, mid reference, or low reference values are
needed, such as in fall time or rise time measurements. Calculate using either the min/max or
histogram method. The min/max method uses the maximum value found. The histogram method uses
the most common value found above the midpoint. This value is measured over the entire waveform or
gated region.
Low
This value is used as 0% whenever high reference, mid reference, or low reference values are needed,
such as in fall time or rise time measurements. Calculate using either the min/max or histogram
method. The min/max method uses the minimum value found. The histogram method uses the most
common value found below the midpoint. This value is measured over the entire waveform or gated
region.
Maximum
The maximum data point value. You can take this measurement on each cycle in the waveform record
or across the entire waveform record.
Minimum
The minimum data point value. You can take this measurement on each cycle in the waveform record
or on the entire waveform record.
Total Overshoot
The summation of the positive overshoot and the negative overshoot.
Cycle Mean
The arithmetic mean over the first cycle in the waveform or the first cycle in the gated region.
RMS
The true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform or gated region.
