SR620 Universal Time Interval Counter
Graphs 3 and 4 show the effects of trigger timing jitter and trigger timing level error on resolution and error.
These graphs are applicable to all measurements, not just time intervals.
MEASUREMENT ACCURACY
The following equations allow one to calculate the SR620's resolution and error in the various measurement
modes. The SR620's typical specification are used in the following equations. For worst case bounds simply
replace the typical with the worst case numbers.
NOTE
: The quantities added to calculate the SR620's resolution are independent rms quantities and must be
added in quadrature:

NOTE
: "timebase error" refers to the sum of aging and temperature effects.
TIME INTERVAL, WIDTH, RISE/FALL TIME MODES:
In the time measurement modes the measurement resolution and error are given by:
