Agilent / HP / Keysight 5316B
5316B Universal Counter
Description
This unit is a low cost, high performance universal counter offering frequency, period, time interval, ratio, and totalize measurements.
Unique counting circuitry delivers the best of both reciprocal and conventional frequency counting.
Programmable functions include all measurement modes, plus trigger level and trigger slope controls.
Key Points
Exceptional resolution at both low and high frequencies
Three time interval modes solve more problems
Flexible signal conditioning optimized for both frequency and time-interval measurements
Selectable gate time from 60ms to 10s
100MHz A and B input channels, Optional 1GHz C channel
Full frequency range (to 100MHz) on both input channels
Proven reliability and excellent RFI protection
Exceptional Resolution
Below 10MHz, the counter measures the input signal period, then computes and displays the reciprocal frequency with 7 digits of resolution in one second for signals as low as 0.1Hz. Above 10MHz, the counter automatically performs as a conventional counter.
Three Modes
It offers 100ns single shot time-interval resolution.
Time-interval averaging boosts performance to 10ps resolution. A
time-interval delay ignores spurious signals that would normally cause the counter to trigger.
Flexible Conditioning
Choose AC or DC coupling, a sensitivity control (variable attenuator), and a switchable low-pass filter. Both channels have trigger level controls with easy setting.
