signal. The period measurements resolution is 10 ns.
GTOTalize Discrete Will select the gated totalize measurement function. In
this mode, the gate opens when the first valid signal is
sensed at the counter input and closed at the end of the
gate time interval. The number of pulses that enter during
the gate time interval is displayed until cleared and the
counter is armed for the next measurement cycle. The
counter can accumulate 8 digits before it will overflow. An
overflow indication is available.
ITOTalize Discrete Will select the totalize measurement function. In this
mode, the gate opens when the first valid signal is sensed
at the counter input and remains open until programmed
otherwise. Pulse are counted and displayed continuously
until intervened externally. The counter can accumulate 8
digits before it will overflow. An overflow indication is
available.
Response
The 2074 will return FREQ, PER, APER, PULS, GTOT or ITOT depending on the present measurement
function setting.
COUNter:READ
Description
This command will interrogate the counter/timer for a reading. Note that the read command must follow a
valid gate time interval otherwise reading will not be available and the interface bus will be held until the
measurement cycle has been completed and result available to be read.
Response
The 2074 will return the result of the present measurement function reading. The returned value will be in
standard scientific format (for example: 10 MHz would be returned as 10e6
– positive numbers are
unsigned).
COUNter:RESet
Description
This command will reset the counter/timer and arm the instrument for its next reading.
