Rise/Fall Time (Peak Path)
Description
The rise and fall time performance of the instrument path has to be
quantified accurately. The 81130A pulse generator is used to supply the
appropriate pulse with defined rise and fall time. The instrument measures
and processes the known signal which is then compared with defined
acceptance limits. Overshoot, settling time and pulse recovery are also
characterized.
