Measurement mode
In the measurement mode, frequency, period and pulse
width are measured. The measurement is gated by either an
internal or external gate source.
The gate source is set using the command below:
SENSe:COUNter:SOURce
Since all three measurements are derived from the same
basic measurement, the measured frequency, period and
pulse width can be easily retrieved from commands below:
MEASure:COUNter:FREQuency? (@<ch_list>)
MEASure:COUNter:PERiod? (@<ch_list>)
MEASure:COUNter:PWIDth? (@<ch_list>)
The return value for frequency, period and pulse width
measurements is a floating value.
• The input frequency measurable range is from 0.1 Hz to 6 MHz.
• The pulse width measurement is in the range of 0.167 s to 178.956 s.
