Range: 200>js... 200 ms, in period, time
interval arid pulse width mode, the set
hold-off time is visible with CHECK de
pressed.
On/off indication: LED indicates when
hold-off is activated.
Monitor: The selected hold-off duration can
be made visible via the gate monitor
output
On Stand By
In "ST BY" position, power is available to
maintain an ovenized crystal oscillator
heated and to recharge the optional bat
tery pack.
Check
10 MHz internal reference connected to
logic circuitry. Self-test of most measuring
functions can be selected. By using this
mode, the COUNT function provides a
stop-watch facility
Display hold
Depressing "DISP HOLD" button sets
display time to infinite and freezes the last
measurement result A new measurement
can be initiated using reset.
In the COUNT mode, the "DISP HOLD"
control is used to start and stop manual
totalizing.
Reset
Manual via pushbutton or electrical via
input E.

(P) = 1 Channel A, all models
(P) = 256 Channel C, PM 6672.
For SINGLE TIME INTERVAL and
PULSE WIDTH:
LSD = 100ns (for times <10s).
LSD = (for times ^i^lOs).

meas. time x time int. rep. rate in Hz
All calculated LSD s shall be rounded to
nearest decade (e g 5 ns will be 10ns and
0.4 Hz will be 0.1 Hz) and cannot exceed
the 8th digit
Resolution
For multiple event measurements:
FREQUENCY. PERIOD AVERAGE, RPM
and RATIO, the resolution is the smallest
increment between two measuring results
being most often 1 LSD unit. Due to arith
metic truncation, the resolution can be
2 LSD units if:
LSD X measuring time
FREO oTp^RlOD w'^M or'RAT 10
but can then be reduced to 1 LSD unit,
by doubling the measuring time.
For single event measurements:
PULSE WIDTH and SINGLE TIME INTER
VAL, the measuring resolution is 100 ns
(one clock pulse) The counter can accu
mulate up to 10'® clock pulses, of which
only the 8 most significant digits are shown
For statistical measurements:
TIME INTERVAL AVERAGE and PHASE,
the measuring resolution is the smallest
increment between two measuring results,
with confidence level of 95%.
Trigger error
Trigger error is the absolute measurement
error due to noise on the input signal
causing a too early or too late triggering
For any waveform (FREO, PERIOD, RATIO,
RPM and PULSE WIDTH):
peak-to-peak noise voltage
signal slope (V/s)
For sinewave (FREO, PERIOD, RATIO, RPM):

Example: For S/N ratio of 100 (40 dB)
