Measurement algorithms
The automated measurements are defined and calculated as follows:
Amplitude. Amplitude = High – Low
Aarea. The arithmetic area for one waveform. Remember that one waveform is not necessarily equal to one cycle. For cyclical
data you may prefer to use the cycle area rather than the arithmetic area.
If Start = End then return the (interpolated) value at Start.
Otherwise,
Details of the integration algorithm are given later. Integration Algorithm
Cycle area. Amplitude (voltage) measurement. The area over one waveform cycle. For data not cyclical, you might prefer to use
the Area measurement.
If StartCycle = EndCycle then return the (interpolated) value at StartCycle.
Details of the integration algorithm are given later. Integration Algorithm
Burst width. Timing measurement. The duration of a burst.
1. Find MCross1 on the waveform. This is MCrossStart.
2. Find the last MCross (begin the search at EndCycle and search toward StartCycle). This is MCrossStop. This could be a
different value from MCross1.
3. Compute BurstWidth = MCrossStop – MCrossStart
