Bulk Adding Methods Pythonically

I've got a whole lot of methods I want to add to my Channel class, all
of which following nearly the same form. The below code works, but
having to do the for loop outside of the main class definition feels
kludgey. Am I missing some cleaner answer? I thought about just
checking for all of it in __getattr__, but that's hacky too and doesn't
docstring nicely. Python 3.4
class Channel:
# Lots of stuff in here.
...
# Add functions for a zillion different single channel measurements to
# the Channel object. Relative measurements are more complex, and need to be
# handled separately.
for fnname, measparam in (
('frequency', 'FREQ'), ('falltime', 'FTIM'), ('negduty', 'NDUT'),
('negwidth', 'NWID'), ('overshoot', 'OVER'), ('duty', 'PDUT'),
('period', 'PER'), ('preshoot', 'PRE'), ('width', 'PWID'),
('amplitude', 'VAMP'), ('mean', 'VAVG'), ('base', 'VBAS'),
('max', 'VMAX'), ('min', 'VMIN'), ('ptp', 'VPP'),
('rms', 'VRMS'), ('top', 'VTOP')):
def measmaker(p):
def inner(self, cursorarea=False):
region = 'CREG' if cursorarea else 'SCR'
return float(self.scope.query(':MEAS:AREA {reg};{meas}? {chan}'.format(
reg = region, meas = p, chan = self.name
)))
inner.__name__ = fnname
inner.__doc__ = "Channel {} measurement".format(fnname)
return inner
setattr(Channel, fnname, measmaker(measparam))
