Can the overshoot of sine wave be tested?

[mqwhale]

If so, then what is the difinitions of overshoot of sinewave, and how do we measure the value? Using Tansitions Measurements.vi?

Thanks a lot!

Normally one is interested in the harmonic distortion of a sine wave.

I've never heard of overshoot of a sine wave.  Usually overshoot applies to square waves or signal level transitions.  For example, when a signal rises from 0 volts to 5 volts, it may overshoot the 5 volt mark slightly and then come back down to 5 volts.   Sometimes it will overshoot (5.1 volts) then undershoot (4.95 volts), then repeat until it gets closer and closer to 5 volts, until it finally settles at 5 volts.  This is called ringing.  These terms only apply to square waves and level transitions.  A sine wave is a smooth curve.  An overshoot would just be a higher peak to peak amplitude, and it would not be called overshoot.
