Measurement settings, amp. 1x 50 ns differentiation, discriminator's threshold is 100 mV, so the signal is 100 mV and noise is 30 mV.

discriminator's threshold is lowered to 73 mV to the measure the noise charge on the ADC.

Measurement settings, amp. 1x ,intergrate 100 ns, discriminator's threshold is 100 mV, so the signal is 100 mV and noise is 30 mV.

discriminator's threshold is lowered to 73 mV to the measure the noise charge on the ADC.
