Glossary
Accuracy
The closeness of the indicated value to the true value.
Acquisition
A series of time-contiguous frames. This is also called a Block.
Acquisition Time
The length of time contained in one acquisition.
Amplitude
The magnitude of an electrical signal.
Amplitude Modulation (AM)
The process, or result of a process, in which the amplitude of a sine wave
(the carrier) is varied in accordance with the instantaneous voltage of a
second electrical signal (the modulating signal).
Analysis Time
A subset of time-contiguous samples from one Block Time, used as input to
an Analysis View.
Analysis View
Any view which produces measurement results except for Spectrum, Power
versus Time, and Spectrogram.
ASK
Acronym for Amplitude Shift Keying. The process, or result of a process, in
which the amplitude of the carrier is varied in accordance with the state of a
digital input signal.
Block
See
Acquisition
.
Calibrator
A signal generator producing a specified output used for calibration
purposes.
Carrier, Carrier Signal
The electrical signal, typically a sine wave, upon which modulation is
impressed.
Carrier Frequency
The frequency of the carrier signal.
