A Full Family of High-Performance RF
and Universal Counters
Within Budget, Without Compromise
The 53131A/132A/181A high-performance counters offer excep-
tional price and performance in a rugged, lightweight package with
a unique combination of ease of use, complete measurement set,
extensive analysis capability, reliability, and high measurement and
data transfer speed.
These instruments use real-time digital signal processing tech-
nology to analyze data while simultaneously taking new readings,
speeding measurement throughput. The technology allows the coun-
ters to gather more data for each measurement so you get
the high-resolution measurements in a fraction of the time it takes a
conventional counter.
Powerful Analysis Capability
The 53131A/132A/181A counters offer built-in statistics and math
functions so you can scale measurements and simultaneously
measure and track average, min./max. and standard deviation. Auto-
mated limit testing lets you set upper and lower limits for any
measurement. When a measurement falls outside those limits, the
counters log the out-of-limit conditions, notify the operator and gen-
erate an output signal to trigger external devices or stop the test. An
analog display mode carries limit testing one step further, letting you
see at a glance whether a measurement falls within pass/fail limits.
High-Speed Automated Test Capability
For computer-controlled systems applications, each counter
includes a standard GPIB interface with a data transfer rate of up
to 200 fully-formatted measurements per second. The counters use
the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments (SCPI)
protocol, letting you leverage your programming investment across
your measurement system. The standard RS-232 talk-only interface
provides printer support or data transfer to a computer through a
terminal-emulation program.
53181A RF Counter
Optimized for RF applications, the single-channel 53181A gives
you frequency, period, and peak-voltage measurements with up to
10 digits/sec frequency and period resolution. The low-cost 53181A
counter is ideal for benchtop, system RF and analog applications.
A digit-blanking function lets you easily eliminate unnecessary
digits when you want to read measurements quickly. For higher-
frequency measurements, an optional second channel provides 1.5,
3, 5 or 12.4 GHz bandwidth.
53131A and 53132A Frequency Counters
The two-channel 53131A counter offers 10 digits per second of
frequency and period resolution at up to 225 MHz. Single-shot time-
interval resolution is specified at 500 ps and averaging can reduce
this even further. Measurements include frequency, time interval,
ratio, period, phase angle, totalize, peak voltage, pulse parameters
and more. For quick access to frequently used tests, a single
keystroke recalls up to 20 different stored front-panel set-ups.
Choose the 53131A for general bench or system test where you need
excellent performance at an unbeatable price.
For applications requiring higher resolution, the 53132A offers
the same features and functions as the 53131A with up to 12 digits/s
frequency and period resolution. Single-shot time-interval resolu-
tion is specified at 150 ps. Choose the 53132A when you need the
very best in accuracy and resolution, or when speed in an automat-
ed system is critical. With the 53132A, expanded external arming
features can be used to control time interval measurements using an
external signal.
Whichever counter you choose, you’ll have an accurate, reliable
counter that will serve you for years to come.
Options Increase Versatility
The 53131A/132A/181A counters can be ordered with an optional
RF-input channel to provide frequency measurements up to 3 GHz
(531xxA-030), 5 GHz (531xxA-050) or 12.4 GHz (531xxA-124).
A choice of optional timebases is available for the 53131A/
132A/181A counters to increase your measurement accuracy.
Option 531xxA-010 provides a high-stability oven timebase with
aging of less than 5 x 10
-10
per day. Option 53132A-012 provides
an ultra-high-stability oven timebase with aging of less than 1 x 10
–10
per day.
Agilent IntuiLink for counters software turns your PC and
counter into a powerful, easy-to-use measurement system. IntuiLink
lets you easily configure and run tests from your Windows-based PC,
making data gathering more convenient. IntuiLink software helps
you get more information from your data by providing a variety of
basic display formats and analysis tools that let you manipulate and
understand your data quickly and easily.
Analog display mode uses an asterisk to represent the current measurement
relative to user-defined upper and lower limits. The colon on the left represents the
lower limit and the colon on the right represents the upper limit.
