Edge Time
The edge time sets each edge transition time (rising and falling) of the pulse. The
rise time and fall time cannot be set independently—each is equal to the edge
time. For each transition, the edge time represents the time from the 10%
threshold to the 90% threshold.
– Edge time: 20 ns to 100 ns (see restrictions below). The default edge time is
20 ns.
– The specified edge time must fit within the specified pulse width as shown
below. The function generator will adjust the edge time as needed to
accommodate the specified pulse width.
Edge Time <
0.625 × Pulse Width
or in terms of duty cycle
Edge Time <
0.625 × Period × Duty Cycle ÷ 100
– Front-Panel Operation: After selecting the pulse function, press the Edge
Time softkey. Then use the knob or numeric keypad to enter the desired edge
time.
– Remote Interface Operation:
