Rise Time
The rise time of a signal is the time difference between the crossing of the 
lower threshold and the crossing of the upper threshold for a 
positive-going edge. The X cursor shows the edge being measured. For 
maximum measurement accuracy, set the horizontal time/div as fast as 
possible while leaving the complete rising edge of the waveform on the 
display. The Y cursors show the lower and upper threshold points.
Fall Time
The fall time of a signal is the time difference between the crossing of the 
upper threshold and the crossing of the lower threshold for a 
negative- going edge. The X cursor shows the edge being measured. For 
maximum measurement accuracy, set the horizontal time/div as fast as 
possible while leaving the complete falling edge of the waveform on the 
display. The Y cursors show the lower and upper threshold points.
Delay
Delay measures the time difference from the selected edge on source 1 
and the selected edge on source 2 closest to the trigger reference point at 
the middle threshold points on the waveforms. Negative delay values 
indicate that the selected edge of source 1 occurred after the selected 
edge of source 2.
1 Press the [Meas] key to display the Measurement Menu.
2 Press the Source softkey; then turn the Entry knob to select the first 
analog channel source.
3 Press the Ty pe : softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to select Delay.
4 Press the Settings softkey to select the second analog channel source 
and slope for the delay measurement.
The default Delay settings measure from the rising edge of channel 1 to 
the rising edge of channel 2.
