Pulse Measurement - Area
Table B--3 describes each pulse measurement in the area category. See Table B--1
on page B--2 amplitude-category measurements; see Table B--2 on page B--8
for timing-category measurements.

Name Definition
Area The area under the curve for the waveform within the measurement region. Area measured
above ground is positive; area measured below ground is negative.
over the measurement region
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.
For best results, optimize the vertical resolution before taking this measurement. See To
Optimize the Vertical Resolution on page B--69.

Cycle Area The area under the curve for the first waveform period within the measurement region. Area
measured above ground is positive; area measured below ground is negative.
