– The specified pulse duty cycle may affect the edge time. The edge time is
This command is affected by the FUNC:PULS:HOLD command, which determines

the value to be held constant as the period is adjusted: the specified pulse
wid th value, or the specified pulse d uty cycle value. See the FUNC:PULS:HOLD
command for further information.
FUNCtion:PULSe:TRANsition {<seconds>|MINimum|MAXimum}
FUNCtion:PULSe:TRANsition? [MINimum|MAXimum]
Set the edge time in seconds for both the rising and falling edges. The edge time
represents the time from the 10% threshold to the 90% threshold of each edge.
You can vary the edge time from 20 ns to 100 ns (see restrictions below). The
default edge time is 20 ns. MIN = 20 ns.
MAX = 100 ns. The :TRAN? query returns the edge time in seconds.
– The specified edge time must fit within the specified pulse width as shown

adjusted first, and then the duty cycle to accommodate the specified period,
conforming to the following restriction. From the remote interface, a "Data out
of range" error will be generated and the edge time and duty cycle will be
limited as described.
Duty Cycle > 100 × (1.6 × Edge Time) ÷ Period
and
Duty Cycle < 100 × (1 – (1.6 × Edge Time) ÷ Period)
below. The function generator will limit the edge time as needed to
accommodate the specified pulse width or duty cycle.
From the remote interface, a "Settings Conflict" error will be generated and
the edge time will be limited as described.
Edge Time < 0.625 × Pulse Width
or in terms of duty cycle:
Edge Time < 0.625 × Period × Duty Cycle ÷ 100
