                                                      FEATURES                                                       BENEFITS

12 digit/s frequency resolution

See small changes in frequency with industry-leading frequency resolution.

Down to 50 ps time resolution

Accurately capture signal details with industry-leading single-shot time resolution.

Multi-parameter display

Read critical auxiliary measurement values displayed with your main frequency, time, or phase measurement to quickly asses your device’s performance.

Trend Plot mode

Plot measurement trends and graphically identify the extent of drift and intermittent events.

Histogram mode

Discover stability or noise problems by viewing results as a histogram.

Statistics mode

View multiple statistical values such as average, min, max, standard and Allan deviation to see how your signal is changing.

Optional TimeView™ software

Transform your counter/timer into a modulation domain analyzer and see frequency changes over time to truly characterize your device’s performance.

USB and GPIB ports

Easily connect to a personal computer for further analysis or into an ATE system with the back-panel USB and GPIB ports; an emulation mode for legacy counter/timers further simplifies integrating into an existing ATE system.

PC Connectivity

Control your counter/timer, log data, and simply transfer and document your results with the included copy of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress software.
