9.2.4 Measurement types
The R&S MXO 5 provides many measurement types to measure time and amplitude
characteristics, and to count pulses and edges.
9.2.4.1 Horizontal measurements (time)
Meas. type Symbol Description/result
Rise Time RTime Rise time of the first rising edge, the time it takes the signal to rise from the lower reference level
to the upper reference level.
Fall Time FTime Fall time of the first falling edge, the time it takes the signal to fall from the upper reference level
to the lower reference level.
Pos. pulse PPuls Duration of the first positive pulse: time between a rising edge and the following falling edge
measured on the middle reference level.
Neg. pulse NPuls Duration of the first negative pulse: time between a falling edge and the following rising edge
measured on the middle reference level.
Period T
in s
Time of the first period, measured on the middle reference level. The measurement requires at
least one complete period of the signal.
Frequency Freq Frequency of the signal, reciprocal value of the measured first period.
Delay Delay Time difference between two slopes of the same or different waveforms, measured on the mid-
dle reference level.
A negative result indicates that the slope of the second source comes before the slope of the
first source.
Phase Phs
in °
Phase difference between two waveforms, measured on the middle reference level.
Burst width Bst Duration of one burst, measured on the middle reference level from the first edge to the last
edge.
Setup
Hold
Setup/Hold time
Setup
Hold
SHT
Setup and Hold time measurements with positive and/or negative clock edge, measured on the
middle reference level.
Setup/Hold ratio SHR Setup/Hold ratio measurement with positive and/or negative clock edge.
Delay to trigger Dly Trg
in s
Time between the trigger point and a selectable edge, measured on the middle reference level.
If the edge is to the left of the trigger (before trigger), the result is negative.
Slew rate rising SrateRis-
ing
Steepness of the first rising edge, measured between the lower and the upper reference levels.
Slewrt = ΔV / Δt
Slew rate falling SrateFal-
ling
Steepness of the first falling edge, measured between the upper and the lower reference levels.
Slewrt = ΔV / Δt
9.2.4.2 Vertical measurements (amplitude)
The unit of most amplitude measurement results depends on the measured source.
