TS EN 60469
Transitions, pulses and related waveforms - Terms, definitions and algorithms
IEC 60469:2013 provides definitions of terms pertaining to transitions, pulses, and related waveforms and provides definitions and descriptions of techniques and procedures for measuring their parameters. The waveforms considered in this standard are those that make a number of transitions and that remain relatively constant in the time intervals between transitions. Signals and their waveforms for which this standard apply include but are not limited to those used in: – digital communications, data communications, and computing; – studies of transient biological, cosmological, and physical events; – and electrical, chemical, and thermal pulses encountered and used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and consumer applications. This standard does not apply to sinusoidally-varying or other continuously-varying signals and their waveforms. The object of this standard is to facilitate accurate and precise communication concerning parameters of transitions, pulses, and related waveforms and the techniques and procedures for measuring them. IEC 60469:2013 combine the contents of IEC 60469-1 and IEC 60469-2. IEC 60469-1 dealt with terms and definitions for describing waveform parameters and IEC 60469-2 described the waveform measurement process. Other technical revisions include updating of terminology, errors correction, algorithms addition for computing values of pulse parameters, and addition of a newly-developed method for computing state levels. Changes to the definitions include adding new terms and definitions, deleting unused terms and definitions, expanding the list of deprecated terms, and updating and modifying existing definitions.

About This Item
TS EN 60469 is a terminology and methods standard for transitions, pulses, and related waveforms. It brings together the language used to describe these signals and the techniques used to measure their parameters, so engineers and metrologists can discuss short-duration waveform behavior with a common technical basis.
What kinds of waveforms are covered?
In general technical terms, the standard deals with waveforms that undergo a number of transitions and remain relatively constant between those transitions. That makes it relevant to digital communications, data communications, and computing, as well as to the study of transient biological, cosmological, and physical events. It also fits electrical, chemical, and thermal pulses encountered in industrial, commercial, and consumer contexts.
Why the terminology and measurement process matter together
A key strength of this document is that it links definitions with measurement practice. For transitional signals, precise wording matters because parameters such as levels, widths, timing points, and edge-related quantities must be interpreted consistently. IEC 60469:2013 combines the content of IEC 60469-1 and IEC 60469-2, bringing waveform-parameter terminology and waveform-measurement procedures into one document. The scope also notes technical revisions such as terminology updates, error corrections, added algorithms for computing pulse-parameter values, and a newly developed method for computing state levels.
- Sinusoidally varying or otherwise continuously varying signals are outside the standard’s scope.
