A period of 4 0 is observed and measured. (See Fig. 13)
Substituting the given value:
Freq = 1 / [ 4 0 x 1 0 "

] = 2 . 5 x 1 0

= 2 5 kHz
While the above method relies on the measurement directly of the period of one c y c l e ,
the frequency may also be measured by counting the number of c y c l e s present in a given
time period.
1 . Apply the signal to the INPUT j a c k . S e t the V or Y MODE to the channel to be used
and adjusting the various controls for a normal display. Set the V A R I A B L E to C A L .
2. Count the number of c y c l e s of w a v e f o r m between a chosen set of vertical graduation
lines.
Using the horizontal distance between the vertical lines used above and the S W E E P
T I M E / D I V , the time span may be calculated. Multiply the reciprocal of this value by
the number of c y c l e s present in the given time span. If " x 5 M A G " is used multiply
this further by 5.
Note that errors will occur for displays having only a f e w c y c l e s .
[ E X A M P L E ]
For the example, within 7 divisions there are 10 c y c l e s .
The S W E E P T I M E / D I V is 5 jis/div. (See Fig. 14)
