AC
AC
in V
RMS value of the AC part of a periodic
signal, calculated over all periods on the
display. The AC result is is derived from
the DC and AC+DC results.

complete period is available, only the
mean value of the visible waveform is
calculated.

Positive pulse
count
Cnt+
Number of positive pulses on the display.
The mean value of the signal is deter-
mined. If the signal passes the mean
value, an edge is counted. A positive
pulse is counted if a rising edge and a
following falling edge are detected.

Negative pulse
count
Cnt-
Number of negative pulses on the dis-
play. The mean value of the signal is
determined. If the signal passes the
mean value, an edge is counted. A neg-
ative pulse is counted if a falling edge
and a following rising edge are detected.

Rising edge count
Cnt
↑
Number of rising edges on the display.
The instrument determines the mean
value of the signal and counts an edge
every time the signal passes the mean
value in the specified direction.

Power Measurements
Power measurements require two sources, one voltage source and one current
source. They are not available for cursor measurements and logic channel sources.
