Deference between Amplitude and Peak2Peak and between Maximum and High?


silverdiamond

Question

In the help files, for measurements, there is Amplitude and there is Peak2Peak?  Also, what is the difference between Maximum and High?  If I am concerned about Peak to Peak at about 1 MHz and there are lower frequency modes of vibrations, how do I limit measurements to Maximum and Minimum within 1 uSec?

Hi @silverdiamond

These measurements are all briefly described in the in-app help's Scope -> Measurements section (5.11): image.png

Some can also be seen as example code by "editing" predefined measurements in the app:

For limiting max/min within a microsecond, careful placement of the acquisition window by setting your trigger, time position, and time base could work, making it so that the acquisition only covers a single period of the input signal is reasonable.

The 3.20.27 beta's measurement "extent" feature also lets you limit the data measurements are applied to within a larger acquisition: 

 

Alternatively, filtering out the low-frequency signals could work:
