Positive Width
This timing measurement is the distance (time) between the mid reference (default 50%) amplitude points of a positive pulse.
The measurement is made on the first pulse in the waveform or gated region.
Negative Width measurement
This timing measurement is the distance (time) between the mid reference (default 50%) amplitude points of a negative pulse.
The measurement is made on the first pulse in the waveform or gated region.
Negative Duty Cycle
This timing measurement is the ratio of the negative pulse width to the signal period expressed as a percentage. The duty cycle
is measured on the first cycle in the waveform or gated region.
Negative Duty Cycle = (Negative Width) × Period × 100%
Period
This measurement is the time required to complete the first cycle in a waveform or gated region. Period is the reciprocal of
frequency and is measured in seconds.
Frequency
This timing measurement is a measure of the first cycle in a waveform or gated region. Frequency is the reciprocal of the period;
it is measured in Hertz (Hz) where one Hz is one cycle per second.
Delay
This timing measurement is the time between the mid reference (default 50%) amplitude point of two different waveforms
