The Oscilloscope mode + Pulse Width is defined as the time from the middle threshold of the first rising edge to the middle threshold of the next falling edge. The measurement can be restricted to a measurement region. These points are marked by two waveform annotation labels. The lower and upper threshold levels do not directly affect the positive pulse width measurement. However, the lower and upper threshold levels are used to determine whether or not a waveform edge is valid for the measurement.

This measurement is designed for single-valued waveforms in oscilloscope mode only.

This measurement is not compatible with PAM4 signals.
