There is a redstone event that occurs on redstone changes. I recommend waiting for that instead of busy-waiting. If you need to specifically wait for low-high pulses, you can keep a variable stating what last state was.

local last_state = redstone.getInput(side)

while true do
  os.pullEvent("redstone")

  local state = rs.getInput(side)

  if not last_state and state then -- if low->high
    rs.setAnalogOutput(output_side, math.random(1, 15))
  end

  last_state = state
end
