Meas. type Symbol Description/Result
Slew rate rising
Steepness of the rising edge: voltage difference between the
lower and higher reference level, divided by the rise time. Result
in V/s = V*Hz (blue vertical lines in the picture below).
Slew rate falling
Steepness of the falling edge: voltage difference between the
higher and lower reference level, divided by the fall time. Result
in V/s = V*Hz (green vertical lines in the picture below).

Reference levels are explained in Chapter 8.2.4, "Reference levels", on page 344.

Meas. type Symbol Description/Result
Rise time T
Rise
Rise time of the left-most rising edge of the waveform. Rise time
is the time it takes the signal to rise from the low reference level
to the high reference level. Measurement all events in the acqui-
sition is possible.
Fall time T
Fall
Falling time of the left-most falling edge of the waveform. Fall
time is the time it takes the signal to fall from the high reference
to the low reference. Measurement all events in the acquisition
is possible.
Pos. pulse T
PosPulse
Width of a positive pulse: time between a rising edge and the
following falling edge measured on the middle reference level.
The measurement requires at least one complete period of a
triggered signal. Measurement all events in the acquisition is
possible.
Neg. pulse T
NegPulse
Width of a negative pulse: time between a falling edge and the
following rising edge measured on the middle reference level.
The measurement requires at least one complete period of a
triggered signal. Measurement all events in the acquisition is
possible.
Period T
Period
Time between two consecutive waveform edges of the same
direction, measured on the middle reference level. The mea-
surement requires at least one complete period of a triggered
signal. Measurement all events in the acquisition is possible.
Frequency f
Period
Frequency of the signal, reciprocal value of the period.
