What do the Pedestal, Upper and Lower Thresholds correspond to in time? ( Example: 1000 counts is how much time?)

Time is determined by the Range you are in.  Each of the ranges has a Different Resolution.

The resolution times the number of counts equals the time.  (Resolution * Counts = Time)

 Calculation
 Result
100ns Range
 25ps
 (25ps * 1000)
  25ns
200ns Range
 50ps
 (50ps * 1000)
 50ns
400ns Range
 100ps
 (100ps * 1000)
 100ns
800ns Range
 200ps
 (200ps * 1000)
 200ns


You can also do ratios:  Time to Full Scale Time = Counts to 4000 Counts    
  Known Ratio

 Result
25ns is to 100ns
 as WHAT is to 4000 counts.
  1000 counts
1000 counts is to 4000 counts
 as WHAT is to 100 ns
 25ns
