Other Parameters
1. Area: the area of the whole waveform within the screen. The units are the
volt-second. The area measured above the zero reference (namely the vertical
offset) is positive and the area measured below the zero reference is negative.
The area measured is the algebraic sum of the area of the whole waveform
within the screen.
2.
Period Area: the area of the first period of waveform on the screen. The
units are the volt-second. The area above the zero reference (namely the
vertical offset) is positive and the area below the zero reference is negative. The
area measured is the algebraic sum of the area of the whole period waveform.
Note that when the waveform on the screen is less than a period, the period
area measured is 0.
