Location:

Add Measurement or Edit Measurement dialog > Advanced

Purpose:

adjusts parameters of certain measurements such as filtering and

spectrum analysis

Threshold

Some measurements, such as Rise Time and Fall Time, can

be made using different thresholds. Select the appropriate ones

here. When comparing rise and fall times with manufacturers'

specifications, it is important to use the same thresholds for all

measurements.

Spectrum Span

When measuring peak-related parameters such as 'Frequency

at Peak' in a spectrum view, PicoScope can search for a peak

near to the specified ruler location. This option tells PicoScope

how many frequency bins to search. The default is 5, which tell

PicoScope to search from 2 bins below to 2 bins above the ruler

frequency, giving a total range of 5 bins including the ruler

frequency.
