Pulse Measurements - Timing
Table B--2 describes each pulse measurement in the timing category. See Table
on B--1 on page B--2 for amplitude category measurements; see Table B--3 on
page B--14 for area category measurements.
Table B- 2: Pulse Measurements - Timing
Name Definition
Burst width The ti me bet ween the first and last crossings, either positive or negative, of the waveform at the
mid-reference level in the measurement region. See Measurement Reference Parameters and
Methods on page B--56 or in the online help. Also see Reference Levels Method on page 3--79.
The mid-reference level is adjustable and defaults to 50% of the pulse amplitude.
If enabled, measurement gates constrain the measurement region to the area between the Start
Gate (G1) and Stop Gate (G2). See To Localize a Measurement on page 3--83.
Cross+ The time of the first positive crossing of the data sampled at t he mid-reference level in the
measurement region.
Cross+ = Tcross
Where Tcross is t he horizont al coordinate of t he first posi tive crossing. See Pulse Sources
on page B--57.
The mid-reference level is adjustable and defaults to 50% of the pulse amplitude.
If enabled, measurement gates constrain the measurement region to the area between the Start
Gate (G1) and Stop Gate (G2). By default, searching is forward from the Start Gate for the first
rising edge, but can be reversed, so t hat searching is backward from the Stop Gate.
Cross- The time of the fi rst negat ive crossing of the data sampl ed at t he mid-reference level in the
measurement region.
Cross-- = Tcross
Where Tcross is t he horizont al coordinate of t he first negat ive crossing.
The mid-reference level is adjustable and defaults to 50% of the pulse amplitude.
If enabled, measurement gates constrain the measurement region to the area between the Start
Gate (G1) and Stop Gate (G2). By default, searching is forward from the Start Gate for the first
falling edge, but can be reversed, so that searching is backward from t he Stop Gate.
