H Noise. (Optional on TDS7000 Series & TDS6000 Series) Tells the instru-
ment if the noise measurement is at the top or the bottom of the eye diagram.
H Signal Type. (Optional on TDS7000 Series & TDS6000 Series) Lets the
instrument know if the signal to be measured is a pulse waveform or an eye
diagram.
Reference Levels Met hod. A second set of levels affect the fidelity of time-related
measurements, the Hi, Mid, and Lo references. For example, the measurement
system takes risetime measurements from the waveform-edge that transitions
from the Low to High reference levels.
You can set the calculation method for each measurement. The instrument
provides the following calculation methods; refer to Figure 3--36 as you read
about each method:
H Relative Reference Calculated as a percentage of the High/Low range.
H Absolute Reference Set by absolute values in user units.
