Page 5: Introduction
1-1. Introduction This reciprocal FREQUENCY COUNTER is a microprocessor-controlled instrument for frequency measurement. Due to uniquely developed LSI circuitry in an expanding/reciprocal system, high accuracy with 9-digit resolution is achieved with a one second gate time. It covers a frequency range of from 0.1 Hz to 3.5 GHz based on a 10 MHz TCO (Temperature Controlled Oscillator). -

base signal can be monitored or through which an external time base signal can be applied (see item above). The external signal should have a voltage range of 1.5 V~5 V rms. RS-232C CONNECTOR: Connector for serial interfacing with a computer. 3-2. - Page 15 Engaging the HOLD switch “freezes” the display at the existing reading. When HOLD is released, the display is updated and resumes counting. Engage the ATTENUATOR if necessary. When set to x10 (pushed in), the signal at input A is attenuated by a factor of approximately 10 before it is applied to the counter.

3-4. Period Measurements Apply the signal to be measured at input A. Select the resolution using the GATE TIME selector switch. The period is indicated on the display. The gate indicator is lit while the measurement is in progress. The ATTENUATOR, LPF, and COUPLING switches operate the same as they do in the frequency measurements modes. -

BNC Cable Considerations The accuracy of radio frequency measurements can be affected by the connections between the signal source and counter. The main issues involved are standing waves and cable shunt capacitance. -
Page 20: Attenuator Probes
5-2. Attenuator Probes When measuring signals at input A that will exceed its maximum input voltage level (See FIG. 1), a 10:1 attenuating probe such as an oscilloscope probe should be used. NOTE DO NOT USE A 10:1 PROBE WITH THE INPUT C. THESE PROBES ARE DESIGNED WITH A 10:1 ATTENUATION FOR AN INSTRUMENT WITH AN INPUT RESISTANCE OF 1 M Ω. - Page 21 Limited One-Year Warranty B&K Precision Corp. warrants to the original purchaser that its product and the component parts thereof, will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one year from the data of purchase.
