Period is defined as the time between themiddle threshold crossings of two consecutive, like-polarity edges, as shownin the figure below.– The clamp meter measures the frequency of a voltage or current signal bycounting the number of times the signal crosses a threshold level within aspecified period of time.Rise Time Fall Time+ Width – WidthPeriod90%50%10%
