Measure Mode
For Measure Mode, you can select Average Pulses or Discrete Pulses.
When Average Pulses is selected for Pulse IV, the measured values of two or more pulses are
averaged. See the Pulse IV (Average pulses) measurement example (on page 6-99). For Waveform
Capture, select Average Pulses to average each sample in the waveform with the same point in
subsequent waveforms, for each pulse specified by the number of pulses.
When Discrete Pulses is selected for Pulse IV, the measured value of each pulse is acquired. Refer
to the Pulse IV (Discrete pulses) measurement example (on page 6-100). For Waveform Capture,
each sample for every waveform is recorded in the Analyze sheet. Refer to the Waveform Capture
(Discrete Pulses) measurement example (on page 6-101).
Pulse I-V (Average pulses) measurement example
For the example shown in the next figure, the mean of three pulses are averaged into a single
reading (also called a spot mean). One averaged reading is yielded for each pulse. The result of the
three averaged readings is placed in the Analyze sheet.
