    Making Measurements Counter (Frequency) The 1000A Series oscilloscopes have an integrated 6-digit hardware frequency counter. The counter operates on the currently selected trigger source and can measure frequencies from 5 Hz to the bandwidth of the oscilloscope. The counter uses the trigger comparator to count the number of cycles within a period of time (known as the gate time), so the trigger level must be set correctly.
