Frequency Counter

The instrument has a built-in frequency counter. The counter input shares the same BNC

terminal as the channel 2 main output terminal, labeled CNT. To access and enable the

counter function, select the Counter option from the utility menu.

Note: When the counter function is enabled, channel 2 will automatically be disabled

and the same BNC terminal will become the counter’s input terminal.

There are several measurement parameters that can be displayed when counter is enabled.

Measure Frequency/Period

The instrument can measure in frequency or period by selecting Freq or Period respectively

from the counter menu.

Measure Width and Duty

The width of the signal can be measured. This parameter is especially useful for measuring

square and pulse signals. Users can select between measuring positive or negative width by

selecting PWidth or NWidth respectively from the counter menu. Users can also measure

the duty cycle in percent of the signal by selecting Duty from the menu.
