Definitions
LSD Displayed
LSD = Unit value of the least significant
digit displayed. All calculated LSD:s (see section Meas-
uring functions) should be rounded to the nearest dec-
ade (e.g 0.3 Hz is rounded to 0.1 Hz and 5 Hz to 10 Hz)
and cannot exceed the 9th digit.
Resolution
Resolution = smallest increment between
two measuring results on the display, due to the 1 count
error.
Freq A, B, and Period A:
Resolution can be 1 LSD unit
or 2 LSD units.

Attenuation:
Continously variable in two ranges be-
tween x1 and x400.
Filter:
Switchable 50 kHz low pass noise filter, on Input-A,
with a suppression of 20 dB at 200 kHz.
Trigger Levels:
Three different levels for triggering on
signals with various duty factors, and AUTO.
symmetrical input signals, should be selected forinput
signals with a duty factor of 0.25 to 0.75%.
positive pulses, for input signals with duty factor
<25%.
negative pulses, for input signals with duty factor
>75%.
AUTO Trigger Levels:
The counter will make test set-
tings and automatically selects the best trig level setting.
AUTO requires repetetive signals with a repetition rate
>100 Hz. AUTO is not active in TOTALIZE A measure-
ments.
Trigger Slopes via GPIB Only:
Positive or negative.
