Top

The Top of a waveform is the mode (most common value) of
the upper part of the waveform, or if the mode is not well
defined, the top is the same as Maximum. The Y cursor
shows the value being measured.

To isolate a pulse for Top measurement

The following figure

shows how to use delayed sweep to isolate a pulse for a

Top

measurement.
