The electronic calibration equipment for verifying the high frequency characteristics of electronic test equipment, including oscilloscopes arid time interval analyzers is provided. An electronic circuit ( ) for generating an electronic fast edge waveform ( ) of selectable amplitude comprises: a waveform output ( ) from the circuitry; a plurality of attenuation stages ( ), the attenuation stages being connected without any switching elements to each other to form a cascaded series of attenuation stages leading to the waveform output ( ) and each of the attenuation stages ( ) in the series being bounded by circuit nodes ( ); one or more pulse generators ( ) for producing an unattenuated source of the fast edge waveform ( ); and structure selectively applying the fast edge waveform source to a corresponding selected one of the circuit nodes so that the fast edge waveform propagates from the selected circuit node ( ) through a selected number of attenuation stages ( ) to the waveform output ( ) thereby attenuating the fast edge waveform ( ) to a selected amplitude.
