determine amplitude

command: AM [<trc> <lo-time> <hi-time>] [<min>] [<max>] [<minpos>] [<maxpos>]

Determines maximum amplitude of trace <trc> within time window from <lo-time> to <hi-time>. If no parameter is specified the trace and the time window is selected simultaneously by graphic cursor. If no output parameter is specified the result is displayed on the dialog channel(s).

parameters

  • <trc> parameter type: trace
    Trace to determine maximum amplitude
  • <lo-time>, <hi-time> parameter type: real
    Time window to search for maximum amplitude. If no parameter is specified the trace and time window is selected simultaneously by graphic cursor.
  • <min> parameter type: symbol address
    Output symbol for minimum value
  • <max> parameter type: symbol address
    Output symbol for maximum value
  • <minpos> parameter type: symbol address
    Output symbol for position of minimum (relative time)
  • <maxpos> parameter type: symbol address
    Output symbol for position of maximum (relative time)

qualifiers

  • /nomark
    Selections are not marked on display
  • /abs
    <max> contains largest absolute value in specified time window

examples

am 1 0. 10.
determine maximum and minimum of first trace between 0 and 10 sec and display it on screen
am 1 0. 10. &min &max
determine maximum and minimum of first trace between 0 and 10 sec and store results in symbols "min" and "max"
am 1 0. 10. ;;;;&MAXPOS
determine position of maximum between 0 and 10 sec of first trace and store it in symbol "maxpos"
