Introduction to WaveShape Analysis
This section is a brief reference to the basic tools available to perform WaveShape Analysis in the
time, frequency, and statistical domains.
Parameter Measurements
WaveShape Analysis typically begins with the measurement of parameters. Parameter
measurement tools determine a wide range of waveform properties. Use them to automatically
calculate many attributes of your waveform, like rise time, rms voltage, and peak-to-peak voltage,
for example.
There are parameter modes for the amplitude and time domains, custom parameter groups, and
parameters for pass and fail testing. You can make common measurements on one or more
waveforms.
Measure Modes
The selections for Measure Mode allow you to quickly apply parameters for standard vertical and
standard horizontal setups, and custom setups.
Pass and fail parameters can be customized, too. You can accumulate and display statistics on
each parameter's average, lowest, highest, and standard deviation.
Standard Vertical Parameters
These are the default Standard Vertical Parameters:
