The EMM is a charge integrating device, making up to 2000 integrations per second.
This means that no "minimum" pulse width is needed to measure a charge, only the
minimum charge range needs to be reached. Current however, is calculated as the
average current for each integration cycle, see also Waveforms and Triggers . If the
pulse width is smaller than the integration time, the EMM will not be able to calculate
the peak current.
