Clean Waveform

Certification
A certification check that every setting produces a clear, recognizable pulse shape. A well-formed pulse shows the device's circuit is working as designed. A ragged or undefined shape can point to a fault. Gauss Labs classifies the measured field at each setting as one of the standard pulse shapes. The check passes when every setting matches one. See Waveform Type.
Basic waveform shapes: sine, square, triangle, sawtoothFour waveform shapes traced over a couple of cycles: a smooth sine wave, a square wave that snaps between two levels, a triangle wave with straight ramps, and a sawtooth that ramps up then drops.SineSquareTriangleSawtooth© 2026 Gauss Labs
The shape of each pulse is its waveform. A sine wave rises and falls smoothly; a square wave snaps between two levels; a triangle wave ramps up and down in straight lines; a sawtooth ramps up then drops sharply. The shape sets how sharply the field changes, which is what the timing measurements capture.
