Parameter 

Description 

Definition 

Notes 

Period 

Period of a cyclic signal 
measured as time between 
every other pair of 50% 
crossings. Starting with first 
transition after left cursor, 
period is measured for each 
transition pair, with values 
averaged to give final result.  

 

Where: Mr is the number of 
leading edges found, Mf the 
number of trailing edges 

found, 

 the time when 

rising edge i crosses the x% 

level, and 

 the time when 

falling edge i crosses the x% 
level. 

Standard parameter. 

Period@level 

Period at a specified level and 
slope for every cycle in 
waveform. 

  

Reference levels and edge-
transition polarity can be 
selected. Hysteresis argument 
used to discriminate levels 
from noise in data. 

Available with JTA2 and 
XMAP options. 

Phase 

Phase difference between 
signal analyzed and signal 
used as reference. You can set 
the output type to percent, 
degrees, or radians. After 
setting up the reference, touch 
the 

More

 tab for signal setups. 

Phase difference between 
signal and reference 

Standard parameter. 

Pop@X 

Population at bin for specified 
horizontal coordinate. You can 
place the cursor at any bin and 
use either Absolute, Reference, 
or Difference cursor shape. 

  

Available with DDM2, JTA2, 
and XMAP options. 

Standard in DDA-5005A. 

PW50 

Average pulse width at the 50% 
point between the local 
baseline and the local peak or 
trough. 

  

Hysteresis argument used to 
discriminate levels from noise 
in data. 

Available with DDM2 option. 

Standard in DDA-5005A. 

PW50- 

Average pulse width at the 50% 
point between the local 
baseline and the local trough. 

  

Hysteresis argument used to 
discriminate levels from noise 
in data. 

Available with DDM2 option. 

Standard in DDA-5005A. 

PW50+ 

Average pulse width at the 50% 
point between the local 
baseline and the local peak. 

  

Hysteresis argument used to 
discriminate levels from noise 
in data. 

Available with DDM2 option. 

Standard in DDA-5005A.
