Glossary Detection
Detection
The process by which a long waveform is decimated (reduced) down to the desired number of trace points,
by dividing the waveform into intervals and choosing a single value to represent each interval in the trace.
Display Reference Level
A designated vertical position representing a speci fi ed input level. The level may be expressed in dBm,
volts, or any other units.
Distortion
Degradation of a signal, often a result of nonlinear operations, resulting in unwanted signal components.
Harmonic and intermodulation distortion are common types.
Dynamic Range
The maximum ratio of the levels of two signals simultaneously present at the input which can be measured
to a speci
fi ed accuracy.
EVM
Acronym for Error Vector Magnitude.
Export
Save data to a fi le in a format other than application-native.
FastFrame
FastFrame segments the acquisition record into a series of frames and then captures acquisitions as single
frames. You can then view and measure each frame individually.
