Cycle mean
The mean value of one cycle
Cycle RMS
The RMS (root mean square) value of one cycle
σ
Cycle
σ
(S-dev)
The standard deviation of one cycle
Trig. ProbeMeter
The DC voltage from the connected probe. Only available if an
active Rohde
&
Schwarz probe with ProbeMeter is connected.
Slew rate rising
Steepness of the rising edge: voltage difference between the
lower and higher reference level, divided by the rise time. Result
in V/s = V*Hz (blue vertical lines in the picture below).
Slew rate falling
Steepness of the falling edge: voltage difference between the
higher and lower reference level, divided by the fall time. Result
in V/s = V*Hz (green vertical lines in the picture below).
Time measurements
Access: [Measure] > "Setup" tab > "Amp/Time" category
Reference levels are explained in

Description/Result
Rise time
T
Rise
Rise time of the left-most rising edge of the waveform. Rise time
is the time it takes the signal to rise from the low reference level
to the high reference level. Measurement all events in the acqui-
sition is possible.
Fall time
T
Fall
Falling time of the left-most falling edge of the waveform. Fall
time is the time it takes the signal to fall from the high reference
to the low reference. Measurement all events in the acquisition
is possible.
