Performance analysis uses measurement definitions to scan a family of curves in Probe and to return a series of values based on the measurement definition. For example, after sweeping a voltage source connected to a CR network, a series of capacitor voltage charging curves will be obtained. Running a performance analysis using the rise time measurement definition on the resulting waveforms will generate a series of rise time values plotted against the swept source voltage.
