A waveform with linear rising and falling edges that form a symmetrical triangle shape. Triangle waves produce a constant rate of field change during each edge, resulting in a steady induced stimulus throughout the rise and fall rather than the burst at the transition that square waves produce. Slew rate is moderate, faster than sine waves but slower than square waves at the same peak Gauss and frequency. Triangle waveforms are sometimes used in devices designed for steady, even stimulation across the full pulse cycle.
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.
