Time Scope Measurements - MATLAB & Simulink Example - MathWorks India

This document summarizes time scope measurements that can be performed on a pulse width modulated sinusoidal signal, including rise time, fall time, overshoot, undershoot, pulse width, pulse period, and duty cycle. It describes using triggers to stabilize noisy signals, and measurements of transitions, overshoot/undershoot, pulse cycles, peak finding, cursor measurements, and signal statistics. Modifying parameters like noise level and filter coefficients affects the signal characteristics.
