Frequency

Frequency of the signal as determined by the time between rising or falling edges


Period

Time between pairs of rising or falling edges


Duty Cycle
Ratio of the time spent above the median to that spent below it


Pulse Width
Time the signal spends above the median


Negative Width
Time the signal spends below the median


Mean
Average value of the signal


RMS
Root-Mean-Square value of the signal


Cycle Mean
Average value of the signal, discounting partial cycles at the beginning and end of the frame


Cycle RMS
Root-Mean-Square value of the signal, discounting partial cycles at the beginning and edge of the frame


Standard Deviation
Mathematical description of the spread of the points in the signal


Peak to Peak
Difference between the highest and lowest voltage in the signal


Amplitude
Difference between the high- and low-level voltage, excluding over- and undershoot


Maximum
Highest voltage in the signal


Minimum
Lowest voltage in the signal


High Level
Highest voltage in the signal, excluding overshoot


Low Level
Lowest voltage in the signal, excluding undershoot


Rise Time
Time taken for the signal to transition from 10% to 90% of the way from minimum to maximum


Fall Time
Time taken for the signal to transition from 90% down to 10% of the way from maximum to minimum


Rise Rate
Rate at which the signal transitions from 10% to 90% of the way from minimum to maximum


Fall Rate
Rate at which the signal transitions from 90% to 10% of the way from maximum to minimum


Overshoot
Distance the signal shoots above the maximum level before settling


Undershoot
Distance the signal shoots below minimum level before settling
