Table B- 4: RZ Measurements - Amplitude (cont.)
Name Definition
RZ Min The minimum vertical value of the wavef orm t hat is sampled within the measurement region.
If enabled, measurement gates constrain the measurement region to the area between the Start
Gate (G1) and Stop Gate (G2).
When this measurement is turned on, it will automatically set the measurement system to use a
waveform database if available.
For best result s with t his measurement:
H Perform a Dark Level compensati on before taki ng this m easurement if the source of the
measured waveform is an optical channel. See To Perform Dark-Level and User
Wavelength Gain Compensations on page 3--98.
H Optimize the vertical resolution before taking this measurement. See To Optimize the
Vertical Resolution on page B--69.
RZ Peak-to-Peak The difference between the Max and Min vertical values of t he waveform t hat is sam pled within
the measurement region.
RZ Peak-to-Peak = Max – Min
Where Max and Mi n are the maximum and minimum measurements.
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.
When this measurement is turned on, it will automatically set the measurement system to use a
