Abstract
A method and apparatus of measuring the pulse width of electronic pulses which may have a large variation in amplitude. An electronic pulse includes a rising edge, a top and a falling edge and the method and apparatus measures a first point adjacent to the beginning of the rising edge, and measures a second point adjacent the beginning of the falling edge and measures the pulse width as the difference between the first and second points whereby the pulse width measurement is insensitive to the amplitude of the pulse width.
