Taking a measurement on just a part of the waveform Gating

Gating sets the automatic measurements to use only a specified part of a waveform for the measurements. The Gating
function applies to all channels and all measurements (in other words, you cannot set a different gating region for individual
measurements or different channels).

Description
This value is used as 0% whenever high reference, mid reference, or low reference
values are needed, such as in fall time or rise time measurements. Calculated using
either the min/max or histogram method. The min/max method uses the minimum value
found. The histogram method uses the most common value found below the midpoint.
This value is measured over the entire waveform or gated region.
This is measured over the entire waveform or gated region and is expressed as:
Positive Overshoot = (Maximum – High) / Amplitude x 100%.
This is measured over the entire waveform or gated region and is expressed as:
Negative Overshoot = (Low – Minimum) / Amplitude x 100%.
The arithmetic mean over the entire waveform or gated region.
The arithmetic mean over the first cycle in the waveform or the first cycle in the gated
region.
The true Root Mean Square voltage over the entire waveform or gated region.
The true Root Mean Square voltage over the first cycle in the waveform or the first cycle
in the gated region.
Description
A voltage over time measurement. The measurement returns the area over the entire
waveform or gated region in volt-seconds. Area measured above ground is positive;
area measured below ground is negative.
A voltage over time measurement. The measurement is the area over the first cycle in
the waveform or the first cycle in the gated region expressed in volt-seconds. The area
above the common reference point is positive, and the area below the common
reference point is negative.
