Term interpretation:
Vpp:
Peak-to-Peak Voltage.
Vmax:
The maximum amplitude. The most positive peak voltage measured over the entire waveform.
Vmin:
The minimum amplitude. The most negative peak voltage measured over the entire waveform.
Vamp:
Voltage between Vtop and Vbase of a waveform
Vtop:
Voltage of the waveform’s flat top, useful for square/pulse waveforms.
Vbase:
Voltage of the waveform’s flat base, useful for square/pulse waveforms.
Overshoot:
Defined as (Vmax-Vtop)/Vamp, useful for square and pulse waveforms.
Preshoot:
Defined as (Vmin-Vbase)/Vamp, useful for square and pulse waveforms.
Average:
The arithmetic mean over the entire waveform.
Vrms:
The true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform.
Rise Time:
Time that the leading edge of the first pulse in the waveform takes to rise from 10% to 90% of
its amplitude.
Fall Time:
Time that the falling edge of the first pulse in the waveform takes to fall from 90% to 10% of its
amplitude.
+Width:
The width of the first positive pulse in 50% amplitude points.
-Width:
The width of the first negative pulse in the 50% amplitude points.
Delay 1→2 :
The delay between the two channels at the rising edge.
Delay 1→2 :
The delay between the two channels at the falling edge.
+Duty:
+Duty Cycle, defined as +Width/Period.
-Duty:
-Duty Cycle, defined as -Width/Period.
39. Measure
Four automatic measured values can be detected on each channel simultaneously. Only if the waveform
channel is in the ON state can the measurement be carried out. No automatic measurement can be made in
the following situation: 1) on the saved waveform. 2) on the mathematical waveform. 3) on the XY format. 4)
on the Scan format.
