Overview

The FA-2 frequency counter is high precision, high speed, with statistical function, auto ranging
input frequency. It is convenient for long-term monitoring of external frequency changes. Channel
2 can measure frequencies up to 6 GHz using either the internal OCXO, or an external 10MHz
standard.

  • Page 7 6 FAQ Q : How can I know if the counter is operating properly? A : Connect the rear panel 10 MHz reference output to the front panel CH 1. The LCD should display 10 MHz. This means the counter is functioning properly. Q: When measuring low frequencies, the display is not accurate or is unstable.
