Description
Definition
Notes
a m p l
Amplitude: Measures difference between
upper and lower levels in two-level
signals. Differs from
pkpk
in that noise,
overshoot, undershoot, and ringing do
NOT
affect measurement.
top - base
(See Fig. C
–1)
On signals
NOT
having two
major levels (such as triangle
or saw-tooth waves), returns
same value as
pkpk
.
a r e a
Integral of data: Computes area of
waveform between cursors relative to
zero level. Values greater than zero
contribute positively to the area; values
less than zero negatively.
Sum from
first
to
last
of data
multiplied by
horizontal time
between points
(See Fig. C
–2)
b a s e
Lower of two most probable states (higher
is
top
). Measures lower level in two-level
signals. Differs from
min
in that noise,
overshoot, undershoot, and ringing do
NOT
affect measurement.
Value of most
probable lower
state
(See Fig. C
–1)
On signals
NOT
having two
major levels (triangle or saw-
tooth waves, for example),
returns same value as
min
.
c y c l e s
Determines number of cycles of a periodic
waveform lying between cursors. First
cycle begins at first transition after the left
cursor. Transition may be positive- or
negative-going.
Number of
cycles of periodic
waveform
(See Fig. C
–2)
c m e a n
Cyclic mean:
Computes the average of
waveform data. Contrary to
mean
,
computes average over an integral
number of cycles, eliminating bias caused
by fractional intervals.
Average of data
values of an
integral number
of periods
cmedian
Cyclic median: Computes average of
base and top values over an integral
number of cycles, contrary to
median
,
eliminating bias caused by fractional
intervals.
Data value for
which 50 % of
values are above
and 50 % below
c r m s
Cyclic root mean square: Computes
square root of sum of squares of data
values divided by number of points.
Contrary to
rms
, calculation performed
over integral number of cycles, eliminating
bias caused by fractional intervals.
