The integration algorithm used by the oscilloscope is as follows:
ŕ

W(t)dt
is approximated by

W
^
(t)dt
where:
W(t) is the sampled waveform

^
()
is the continuous function obtained by linear interpolation of W(t)
A and B are numbers between 0.0 and –1.0
If A and B are integers, then:
ŕ
