It features independent control of leading and trailing edge transition times.

Period, delay, duration, and transition time switches each feature a custom position where a user-supplied internal capacitor determines the timing.

Key Specifications

Transition time	Range 5 ns to 500 μs in decade steps plus custom position; separate  ×1 to ×100 variable controls for leading and trailing edge
Output level	High and low levels adjustable independently in −20 V to +20 V range, limited to max. 20 Vp-p (open circuit), 50 Ω source impedance (−10 V to +10 V into 50 Ω)
