The amplitude can be represented in three different formats that can be selected by opening the menu
beside the amplitude label:
•
Vpp (Peak to Peak Voltage):
it is the difference between the highest and lowest level of the
waveform.
•
Vrms (Root Mean Square Voltage):
it is the rms value of the waveform.
•
dBm:
it is the power transferred to the load expressed in dBmW (this representation is available
only for sine wave). Its value takes in account the Load set in Channel Settings.
Note:
The Vrms and the dBm set in the textbox are referred only to the waveforms amplitude. They
don’t take
into consideration the Offset of the waveform.
Offset[V]
It defines the voltage of (Vmax+Vmin)/2 expressed in Volts where Vmax is the maximum level of the
waveform and Vmin is the minimum level of the waveform
High Level [V]
It defines the maximum level of the waveform expressed in Volts
