Voltage, Current, and Power Measurements

The following figure shows the measurement points for voltage, current, and power
measurements.

The difference between Maximum and Minimum values.
The highest and lowest values.
The difference between the Top and Base values.
Modes (most common values) of the upper and lower
parts of the waveform. If a mode is not well defined, these
are set to the Maximum and Minimum.
Distortions that follow (overshoot) or precede (preshoot)
an edge transition, expressed as the difference between
the Minimum or Maximum and the Top or Base as a
percentage of Amplitude.
The arithmetic mean of the samples.
The root-mean-square value over one or more full periods.
The root-mean-square value with the DC component
removed. This is useful, for example, for measuring
power supply noise.

Cursors
The Y cursors show the
value or values being
measured.
The X cursors show
which edge is being
measured (edge closest
to the trigger reference
point).
The X cursors show
what interval of the
waveform is being
measured.
