Parameter — Description Definition Notes
c s d e v Cyclic standard deviation: Standard
deviation of data values from mean value
over integral number of periods. Contrary
to
sdev , calculation performed over
integral number of cycles, eliminating bias
caused by fractional intervals.

data Returns average of all data points. All data values in

Multi-value parameter especially
valuable for histograms and
trends.
delay Time from trigger to transition: Measures
time between trigger and first 50 %
crossing after left cursor. Can measure
propagation delay between two signals by
triggering on one and determining delay
of other. Time between
trigger and first
50 % crossing
after left cursor
(See Fig. C

Threshold levels of clock and
data signals, and edge-transition
polarity
can be selected.
Hysteresis argument used to
differentiate peaks from noise in
data, with good hysteresis value
between half expected peak
–to–
peak value of signal and twice
expected peak
–to–peak value of
noise.
