Measurement name Definition
Low The value used as 0%. Calculated using either the
min/max or the histogram method. Measured over
the entire waveform.
Max The maximum amplitude. The most positive peak
voltage measured over the entire waveform.
Mean The arithmetic mean over the entire waveform.
Min The minimum amplitude. The most negative peak
voltage measured over the entire waveform.
Negative
Duty
Cycle
Measurement of the first cycle in
the waveform.
Negative Duty Cycle =
Negative Width
Period
× 100%
Negative
Overshoot
Measured over the entire waveform.
Negative Overshoot =
Low–Min
Amplitude
× 100%
Negative
Width
Measurement of the first negative pulse in the
waveform. The time between the 50% amplitude
points.
Pk--Pk Measured over the entire waveform.
Peak-to-peak = Max -- Min
Period Time it takes for the first complete signal cycle to
complete in the waveform. Measured in seconds.
Phase Timing measurement. The amount one waveform
leads or lags another in time. Expressed in degrees,
where 360_ comprise one waveform cycle.
