Measurement Description
Mean
The arithmetic mean over the entire w aveform or gated region.
Cycle Mean The arithmetic mean over the rst cycle in the waveform or the rst cycle in the gated
region.
RMS The true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform or gated region.
Cycle RMS The true Root Mean Square voltage over the rst cycle in the waveform or the rst
cycle in the gated region.
Miscellaneous measurements
Measurement Description
Positive Pulse
Count
The number of positive pulses that rise above the mid reference crossing in the waveform
or gate
d region.
Negative Pulse
Count
The nu
mber of negative pulses that fall below the mid reference crossing in the waveform
or gated region.
Risin
g 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
valu
e in the waveform or gated region.
Area Area measurement is a voltage over time measurement. It returns the area over the
ent
ire 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 rst c ycle
in the waveform or the rst cycle in the gated region expressed in volt-seconds. The
ar
ea above the common reference point is positive, and the area below the c ommon
reference point is negative.
