Pulse Width
Measurement is specified over the full signal range of Channel 1. The width of the opposing pulse must be greater than 4 ns (e.g., when
measuring the positive pulse width, the negative pulse width must be greater than 4 ns).
Pulse Selection:
Positive or Negative
Trigger:
Default setting is Auto Trigger

Rise/Fall Time
Measurement is specified over the full signal ranges of Channel 1. The interval between the end of one edge and start of a similar edge
must be greater than 4 ns. (e.g., when measuring a rising edge, 4 ns must elapse between the 90% point of one rising edge and the
10% point of the next rising edge).

Restrictions noted on page 3-2 for Auto Trigger apply to the proper operation of these measurements. The Peak Volts measurement is used to
determine the signal amplitude and inaccuracies from this, noted on page 3-11, should be included in calculating the Trigger Level Timing Error.
