:MEASure:PREShoot

Command Syntax

:MEASure:PREShoot [<source>]

<source> ::= {CHANnel<n> | FUNCtion | MATH}

<n> ::= {1 | 2 | 3 | 4} for the four channel oscilloscope models

<n> ::= {1 | 2} for the two channel oscilloscope models

The :MEASure:PREShoot command installs a screen measurement and

starts a preshoot measurement. If the optional source parameter is

specified, the current source is modified.

Query Syntax

:MEASure:PREShoot? [<source>]

The :MEASure:PREShoot? query measures and returns the preshoot of the

edge closest to the trigger, displayed on the screen. The method used to

determine preshoot is to make three different vertical value measurements:

Vtop, Vbase, and either Vmin or Vmax, depending on whether the edge is

rising or falling.

For a rising edge:

For a falling edge:

Vtop and Vbase are taken from the normal histogram of all waveform

vertical values. The extremum of Vmax or Vmin is taken from the

waveform interval right before the chosen edge, halfway back to the

previous edge. This more restricted definition is used instead of the

normal one, because it is likely that a signal may have more overshoot

than preshoot, and the normal extremum would then be dominated by the

overshoot of the preceding edge.

Return Format

<value> ::= the percent of preshoot of the selected waveform
