2 Application

•

The table measuring unit UZ 2400 is a compact two-channel counter controlled by a
microprocessor and allows frequency measurements of period signals via channel A within
the range of 10 Hz to 100 MHz and via channel C from 50 MHz to 2.4 GHz.

•

Moreover, the period length of periodic signals from 100 µs to100 ms can be measured
within the range of and pulses can be counted from 1 to 10

pulses via channel A.

•

The trigger level can be set and measuring amplitudes up to 50 V can be attenuated at the
ratio of 10:1 on channel A.

•

Functions and measuring ranges can be set by means of 4 buttons in the form of a menu
and they are clearly depicted on a 16-digit display.

•

The unit is supplied with a serial interface RS-232C which allows both remote control and
a further processing of the data.
