TDS 500C, TDS 600B, & TDS 700C User Manual
Mean
Amplitude (voltage) measurement of the arithmetic mean over the entire
waveform.
Minimum
Amplitude (voltage) measurement of the minimum amplitude. Typically the
most negative peak voltage.
NAND
A logic (Boolean) function in which the output of the AND function is
complemented (true becomes false, and false becomes true). On the
oscilloscope, that is a trigger logic pattern and state function.
Negative duty cycle
A timing measurement representing the ratio of the negative pulse width to
the signal period, expressed as a percentage.
Negative overshoot measurement
Amplitude (voltage) measurement.

Negative width
A timing measurement of the distance (time) between two amplitude
points — falling-edge MidRef (default 50%) and rising-edge MidRef (default
50%) — on a negative pulse.
Normal trigger mode
A mode on which the oscilloscope does not acquire a waveform record
unless a valid trigger event occurs. It waits for a valid trigger event before
acquiring waveform data.
NOR
A logic (Boolean) function in which the output of the OR function is
complemented (true becomes false, and false becomes true). On the
oscilloscope, that is a trigger logic pattern and state function.
OR
A logic (Boolean) function in which the output is true if any of the inputs are
true. Otherwise the output is false. On the oscilloscope, that is a trigger logic
pattern and state function.
