BW: Bandwidth of the filter used
Rise/Fall Time
The Rise Time is time taken for the signal level to change to the next
level.

From 20% level of amplitude to 80%

From 10% level of amplitude to 90%
The Fall Time is the time taken for the signal level to change to the next
level.

From 80% level of amplitude to 20%

From 90% level of amplitude to 10%
For the MP2110A, the rise and fall time measurement level can be
selected from either 10/90% or 20/80%.
