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

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.
