Threshold levels for rise or fall time can also be selected using absolute or relative settings (r@level, f@level). I
absolute settings are chosen, the rise or fall time is measured as the time interval separating the two crossing
points on a rising or falling edge. But when rel
base and top lines is subdivided into a percentile scale (base = 0 %, top = 100 %) to determine the vertical
position of the crossing points.
The time interval separating the points on the rising or falling edges is then estimated to yield the rise or fall time.

Determining Time Parameters

Time parameter mea urements such as width, period and delay are carried out with respect to the mesial s

Time-parameter estimation depends on the number of cycles included within the observation window. If the
