Table 3: Miscellaneous measurements
Measurement Description
Rising Edge Count The number of positive transitions from the low
reference value to the high reference value in
the waveform or gated region.
Falling Edge Count The number of negative transitions from the high
reference value to the low reference value in the
waveform or gated region.
Positive Pulse Count The number of positive pulses that rise above
the mid reference crossing in the waveform or
gated region.
Negative Pulse Count The number of negative pulses that fall below
the mid reference crossing in the waveform or
gated region.
Area Area measurement is a voltage over time
measurement. It returns the area over the entire
waveform or gated region in volt-seconds. Area
measured above ground is positive; area
measured below ground is negative.
Cycle Area A voltage over time measurement. The
measurement is the area over the first cycle in
the waveform or the first cycle in the gated
region expressed in volt-seconds. The area
above the common reference point is positive,
and the area below the common reference point
is negative.
Cursor Mean The arithmetic mean of the waveform data from
the selected starting to the ending point
Cursor RMS Calculates a true RMS measurement of the
waveform data from the selected starting to the
ending point
