Measure Edge to Edge Timing

Verifying pulse time interval requires two timing events, stable trigger thresholds, and a measurement system that can detect edge transitions with high repeatability. A universal counter performs this test by assigning one pulse edge as the start event and another pulse edge as the stop event, then calculating the elapsed time between them across the selected acquisition interval.

The setup typically routes the two pulse signals to separate counter inputs or start and stop timing paths, configures the trigger level and edge polarity, and records repeated measurements to observe spread or drift. Trend and statistical displays help reveal whether the interval remains consistent or shifts with operating conditions, while high-resolution time-interval measurement capability supports detection of small changes in edge-to-edge timing.

Pulse Time Interval Solution

Pulse time interval testing requires precise detection of start and stop edges, stable trigger settings, and repeated measurements to verify timing separation between pulse events. Keysight's two-channel universal frequency counter / timer supports precise testing by providing time-interval measurement, pulse-width measurement, and built-in trend and histogram analysis. Its 100 ps time-interval resolution supports fine timing verification for digital pulse relationships, while the dual-channel architecture enables comparison of two related timing signals during functional validation.
