Amplitude
The Amplitude of a waveform is the difference between its Top
and Base values. The Y cursors show the values being measured.
Average
Average is the sum of the waveform samples divided by the
number of samples over one or more full periods. If less than
one period is displayed, Average is calculated on the full width
of the display. The X cursors show what portion of the
displayed waveform is being measured.

Base
The Base of a waveform is the mode (most common value) of the
lower part of the waveform, or if the mode is not well defined,
the base is the same as Minimum. The Y cursor shows the value
being measured.
Maximum
Maximum is the highest value in the waveform display. The Y
cursor shows the value being measured.
Minimum
Minimum is the lowest value in the waveform display. The Y
cursor shows the value being measured.
Peak-Peak
The peak-to-peak value is the difference between Maximum and
Minimum values. The Y cursors show the values being
measured.
