6.2 Pulse Definitions
IEEE Std 194™-1977 Standard Pulse Terms and Definitions ―provides fundamental
definitions for general use in time domain pulse technology‖. Several key terms defined
in the standard are reproduced in this subsection, which also defines the terms appearing
in the Model 4500B text mode display of automatic measurement results.
Standard IEEE Pulse
The key terms defined by the IEEE standard are abstracted and summarized below. These
terms are referenced to the standard pulse illustrated in Figure 6-4.
