<N> is an integer, 1 - 4.
<direction> {RISing | FALLing}
Example

PERiod

:MEASure:PERiod [<source>],<direction>
The <direction> parameter is only available when the E2681A Jitter Analysis
Software is installed. When <direction> is specified, the <source> parameter is
required.
The :MEASure:PERiod command measures the period of the first complete
cycle on the screen using the mid-threshold levels of the waveform (50% levels
with standard measurements selected). The source is specified with the
:MEASure:SOURce command or with the optional parameter following the
:MEASure:PERiod command.
The algorithm is:
If the first edge on the screen is rising,
then
period = time at the second rising edge − time at the first rising edge
else
period = time at the second falling edge − time at the first falling edge.
Specifies direction of edge to start measurement.
This example measures the period of the waveform.
