6-1.5T MAGNETS, DIFFERING GRADIENTS
Slew rate, rise time and/or duty cycle are specific parameters to describe the performance of the gradient amplifier. Amplifiers with higher performance allow a faster slew rate (shorter rise time). Stronger gradients allow to reduce echo time, increase the bandwidth and/or use a smaller FOV by influencing the SNR. To use same parameters on magnets with different gradient performance may not be recommended, or you have to adjust all parameters to the level of your magnet with the poorest performance.

Slew Rate
It's about how fast the gradient coil reaches the amplitude. It's the steepness of the curve. The time it takes to reach this amplitude is often referred to as "rise time".

At certain high slew rates the gradient switching is so fast that peripheral nerves get stimulated. A warning may be given like "possible peripheral nerve stimulation". It's not really dangerous, but you can feel your muscles contract a little. Some people are more sensitive to it than others.
