Amplitude
This voltage measurement is the high value minus the low value measured over the entire waveform or gated region:
Amplitude = High – Low
AC RMS
This voltage measurement is the true Root Mean Square voltage over the measurement region.
Peak to Peak
This voltage measurement is the absolute difference between the maximum and minimum amplitude in the entire waveform or
gated region.
RMS
This voltage measurement is the true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform or gated region.
High
The high level measurement is the value used as 100% whenever high reference, mid reference, or low reference values are
needed, such as in fall time or rise time measurements. This value can be calculated 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
The low level measurement is the value used as 0% whenever high reference, mid reference, or low reference values are
needed, such as in fall time or rise time measurements.
This value can be calculated 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
This voltage measurement is the maximum amplitude. It is typically the most positive peak voltage and is measured over the
entire waveform or gated region.
Minimum
This voltage measurement is the minimum amplitude. It is typically the most negative peak voltage and is measured over the
entire waveform or gated region.
Cycle RMS
This voltage measurement is the true Root Mean Square voltage over the first cycle in the waveform or the first cycle in the gated
region.
Positive Overshoot
This voltage measurement is measured over the entire waveform or gated region.
Positive Overshoot = (Maximum – High) × Amplitude 100%
Negative Overshoot
This voltage measurement is measured over the entire waveform or gated region and is expressed as:
