Timing measurement. The ratio of the negative pulse width to the signal period
expressed as a percentage.
NegativeWidth is defined in Negative Width, below.
If Period = 0 or undefined then return an error.

Amplitude (voltage) measurement.
NegativeOvershoot =
Low * Min
Amplitude
100%
Note that this value should never be negative (unless High or Low are set
out-of-range).
Timing measurement. The distance (time) between MidRef (default = 50%)
amplitude points of a negative pulse.
If MCross1Polarity = ‘–’
then
NegativeWidth = (MCross2MCross1)
else
NegativeWidth = (MCross3MCross2)
