Frequency ratio (53131A, 53132A, 53181A)
Measurement is specied over the full signal
range of each input.

LSD 500 ps (53131A)/150 ps (53132A)
Phase (53131A, 53132A)
Measurement is specied over the full signal
range of Channels 1 and 2
Results range –180° to +360°
Duty cycle (53131A, 53132A)
Measurement is specied over the full signal
range of Channel 1. However, both the positive
and negative pulse widths must be greater than
4 ns.
Results range 0 to 1 (e.g. 50% duty cycle would be displayed
as .5)
Rise/fall time (53131A, 53132A)
Measurement is specied over the full signal
ranges of Channel 1. The interval between the
end of one edge and start of a similar edge must
be greater than 4 ns.
Edge selection Positive or negative
Trigger Default setting is auto trigger at 10 and 90%
Results range 5 ns to 10

LSD 500 ps (53131A)/150 ps (53132A)
Pulse width (53131A, 53132A)
Measurement is specied over the full signal
range of Channel 1. The width of the opposing
pulse must be greater than 4 ns.
Pulse selection Positive or negative
Trigger Default setting is auto trigger at 50%
Results range 5 ns to 10

LSD 500 ps (53131A)/150 ps (53132A)
Totalize (53131A, 53132A)
Measurement is specied over the full signal
range of Channel 1.
Results range 0 to 10

Resolution ± 1 count
Peak volts (53131A, 53132A, 53181A)
Measurement is specied on Channels 1 and 2
for DC signals; or for ac signals of frequencies
between 100 Hz and 30 MHz with peak-to-peak
amplitude greater than 100 mV.
Results range –5.1 V to +5.1 V
Resolution 10 mV
Peak volts systematic uncertainty (53131A, 53132A, 53181A)
Use of the input attenuator multiplies all voltage
specications (input range, results range,
resolution and systematic uncertainty) by a
nominal factor of 10.
For AC signals 25 mV + 10% of V
For DC signals 25 mV + 2% of V
