Select the Measurement Source
Click or tap the drop-down button of Source to select the desired source. Analog
channels (CH1-CH4) and EXT can be selected as the source of the frequency counter.
Set Resolution
For Period and Frequency measurements, you need to set the readout resolution.
Click or tap the input field of Resolution to set the resolution by using the pop-up
numeric keypad. You can also use the corresponding multipurpose knob to set the
value. The resolution ranges from 3 bits to 6 bits. By default, it is 5 bits.
The greater the resolution, the longer the gate time. In this way, the measurement
time will be longer.
Select the Measurement Item
In the Measure item, you can select the desired measurement item. Available options
include Frequency, Period, and Totalize. Wherein, Totalize indicates the count of edge
events on the signal.
Clear Count
When "Totalize" is selected as the measurement item, the oscilloscope measures the
count of edge events on the signal. At this time, you can click or tap Clear Count to
clear the measurement results and measure again.
