| MEASUREMENT FUNCTIONS |
| Frequency (Range A) |
| Frequency Range: |
3Hz to 125MHz |
| Resolution: |
10-7Hz to 100Hz (see Note) |
| Frequency (Range B) |
| Frequency Range: |
80MHz to 3000MHz |
| Resolution: |
1Hz to 10kHz (see Note) |
| Period (Range A only) |
| Period Range: |
8ns to 330ms |
| Resolution: |
10-7ns to 1us (see Note) |
| Measurement Time |
| Selectable as 10s, 1s or 0.1s. (Note that for the 0.1s setting the effective measurement time is 0.3 seconds). |
| Resolution |
The displayed resolution depends upon the measurement time and the input frequency.
Eight digits (or nine using an overflow indication) are displayed for a 10s measurement time.
Seven or eight digits are displayed for a 1s measurement time, and six or seven digits for 0.1s depending upon the input frequency. Usable resolution may be further reduced by noise, particularly at low frequencies. |
| Accuracy |
| Measurement accuracy is the sum of the timebase accuracy and measurement resolution plus one count. |
| TIMEBASE |
| Crystal Oscillator Frequency: |
10MHz |
| Initial Oscillator Adjustment Error: |
± 2ppm (closed-case adjustable by user) |
| Oscillator Temperature Coefficient: |
Typically less than ± 0.3ppm/°C 18°C to 28°C, ±10ppm –20°C to 70°C |
| Oscillator Ageing Rate: |
<± 5ppm/year |
| OPERATING FUNCTIONS |
| Press to measure |
| With the power switch off, pressing any of the function select keys will power the instrument up in the corresponding function. The instrument will automatically switch off 15 seconds after the last key press. |
| Hold |
| Pressing the Hold key will stop further measurements being made and the current measured value will remain in the display, with the Hold indicator on, until the Hold key is pressed again. |
| Noise filter |
| The Filter key controls a low pass filter, with a cut-off frequency of about 50kHz, to ensure stable readings at low frequencies. |
| Signal activity indicator |
| When no input signal is detected the Trig indicator will be off, indicating that no measurement is possible. The gate time indicator flashes until the first measurement interval is complete. |
