Measurement Description
Mean The arithmetic mean over the entire waveform or gated region.
Cycle Mean The arithmetic mean over the first cycle in the waveform or the
first cycle in the gated region.
RMS The true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform or
gated region.
Cycle RMS The true Root Mean Square voltage over the first cycle in the
waveform or the first cycle in the gated region.

Measurement Description
Positive Pulse
Count The number of positive pulses that rise above the mid reference
crossing in the waveform or gated region.
Negative Pulse
Count The number of negative pulses that fall below the mid reference
crossing in the waveform or gated region.
Rising Edge
Count The number of positive transitions from the low reference value
to the high reference value in the waveform or gated region.
Falling Edge
Count The number of negative transitions from the high reference value
to the low reference value in the waveform or gated region.
Area Area measurement is a voltage over time measurement. It
returns the area over the entire waveform or gated region in volt-
seconds. Area measured above ground is positive; area
measured below ground is negative.
Cycle Area A voltage over time measurement. The measurement is the area
over the first cycle in the waveform or the first cycle in the gated
region expressed in volt-seconds. The area above the common
reference point is positive, and the area below the common
reference point is negative.
