Functional Pulse Edge

Certification
A certification check that the pulse has a real, working rising edge. The field a pulse induces in the body follows how quickly the magnetic field changes, not only how strong it gets. Gauss Labs compares the slew rate at the pairing's best setting with the minimum in its certification standard. See Slew Rate and Rise Time.
A single field pulse over time, with its rise and fall edges labeledA trapezoidal pulse showing the field rising from baseline to peak, holding, then falling back. The 10 percent and 90 percent levels mark the rise time and fall time; the width at 50 percent of peak is the pulse width; the steepness of the rising edge is the slew rate.90%10%Slew rateRise timeFall timePulse width (at 50%)Time →© 2026 Gauss Labs
One pulse over time. The field climbs from rest to its peak, holds, then falls back. How fast the rising edge climbs is the slew rate. The field a pulse induces in the body follows how quickly the magnetic field changes. The rise time and fall time are measured between the 10% and 90% levels, and the pulse width is measured at half the peak.
