Phase (53131A, 53132A)

Measurement is specified over the
full signal range of Channels 1 and 2.

Results range -180° to +360°

Duty cycle (53131A, 53132A)

Measurement is specified 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 specified 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

Measurement is specified over the full signal
range of Channel 1. The width of the opposing
pulse must be greater than 4 ns.

Peak volts (53131A, 53132A, 53181A)

Measurement is specified 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

for ac signals: 25 mV + 10% of V
for dc signals: 25 mV + 2% of V

Use of the input attenuator multiplies all
voltage specifications (input range, results
range, resolution and systematic uncertainty)
by a nominal factor of 10.

Gate time

Auto mode, or 1 ms to 1000 s

Measurement throughput

GPIB ASCII

200 measurements/s (maximum)

Measurement arming

Start

Free run, manual, or external

measurement

Stop

Continuous, single, external,

measurement

or timed

Time interval 100 µs to 10 s (53131A)

Arming modes

(Note that not all arming modes are available
for every measurement function.)

5. Available for all measurements except peak volts.

External arm is referred to as external gate for some
measurements.

6. See specifications for pulse width and rise/fall time

measurements for additional restrictions on signal
timing characteristics.
