Universal frequency counters/timers

24 November 2010 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies has introduced the 53200 RF and universal frequency counter/timer series with LXI Class C compliance. The 53200 series is built with standard computing I/O for ease of connectivity and data collection.

The counter/timer series offers base bandwidth of 350 MHz with options to extend up to 15 GHz. Measurement reading speed has increased by more than two orders of magnitude from the previous generation. The 53200 offers resolution performance up to 12 digits/second continuous-count gap free frequency resolution and 20 picosecond single-shot time interval resolution. LXI/Ethernet and USB 2.0 are standard features, making it quick and simple to connect to a PC test system instruments or a network. The 53200 includes internal memory of 1 M readings and supports a USB memory stick for storing and retrieving data.

A large 4,3 inch graphical display offers viewing for fast trigger and instrument setup. The 53200 series has built-in post measurement analysis, internal reading memory and fast data transfer speeds, expanding the capabilities of the units beyond the typical general-purpose frequency counter. Advanced math and statistical information, including basic modulation domain analysis (MDA), simple jitter analysis, Allan deviation and histograms, allow engineers in design and manufacturing to view the history of their measurements quickly and see the quality and performance of their signal.

The 53200’s optional battery supports remote usage and maintenance of accurate measurements by keeping the timebase warm at all times. The 53200 series is SCPI compatible with Agilent’s current generation of RF/universal frequency counters (53131A, 53132A, 53181A). An optional GPIB interface is available to meet any legacy system compatibility requirements.
