Channel A Slope
Verify that the TOTALIZE/TIME MANUAL jumper is in
the TOTALIZE position. With the FUNCTION switch set to
TOTALIZE A/TIME MANUAL and CH A to + SLOPE
(button out), press the START/STOP button. Turn the CH
A LEVEL control fully clockwise. The readout display
should increase one count each time the control is rotated
from clockwise to counterclockwise (past center posi-
tion). Verify that the count does not increase when the
control is turned from counterclockwise to clockwise.
G E N E R A L
Change to - SLOPE (button in) and push the RESET
button to clear the display. The readout should now
increase one count each time the CH A LEVEL control is
rotated from counterclockwise to clockwise (past center).
Turning the control from clockwise to counterclockwise
should not increment the display.
Channel B Slope
Set the FUNCTION switch to PERIOD B, CH B to +
SLOPE (button out), and the AVGS/TIMING switch to 1.
Push the RESET button. Check that the GATE indicator
turns on when the CH B LEVEL control is rotated from
clockwise to the counterclockwise position. Turning the
control back to clockwise should have no effect on the
GATE indicator. Another turn from clockwise to
counterclockwise turns the GATE indicator off.
Change to - SLOPE (button in) and press the RESET
button. Observe that rotating the CH B LEVEL control
from counterclockwise to clockwise and back produces
an action that is just opposite that described in the
preceding paragraph.
OPERATING MODES
The following discussion provides general information
about each mode of operation and instructions on making
measurements for FREQUENCY A, RATIO A/B, TIME
INTERVAL (WIDTH B and TIME A - B), EVENTS A
DURING B, and TOTALIZE.
FREQUENCY A MODE
In this mode the input signal isconnectedto CH A Input
only, either through the rear interface or the front paneI
connector.
Use ac coupling for most frequency
measurements to avoid readjusting the LEVEL control
because of changing dc levels. The repetitive nature of the
signals makes slope selection unnecessary for frequency
measurements. Signals less than 3 volts peak-to-peak
need not be attenuated; larger signals should be
attenuated to within the range of 60 mV to 3 V peak-to-
peak.
Set the FUNCTION switch to FREQUENCY A and, with
the AVGS/TIMING switch, select one of the shorter gate
times. Set the DISPLAY TIME control fully coun-
terclockwise. Connect the signal to be measured to the
input and adjust the LEVEL control for a stable display.
The LEVEL control setting should not be critical unless the
signal amplitude and frequency are close to the specified
limits.
If the count varies from reading to reading, it is
probably caused by jitter in the signal source. If the count
changes unreasonably, the DC 503A is not being
triggered properly, either because the controls are not
correctly set or the signal is beyond the capabilities of the
counter.
Measurement Intervals. To adjust the trigger controls,
choose a short gate time such as .1 second or .01 seconds.
This gives rapid feedback via the display whether or not
the counter is being triggered. Final selection of gate time
depends upon the frequency being measured, desired
resolution, and willingness of the operator to wait for a
measurement.
Resolution. A 10 second gate time means the operator
must wait 10 seconds for a measurement to be made and
displayed. This will give 0.1 Hz resolution. A 10 second
count will display fewer than the available eight digits for
any signal below 10 MHz.
Overflow. Through intentional use of “overflow” dis-
plays, it is possible to improve the resolution of the
counter. Select a gate time that displays the most signifi-
cant digit as far to the left as possible. Note the numbers
displayed to the right of the decimal. Move the decimal to
the left, by selecting longer gate times, until the desired
resolution is achieved. The OVERFLOW indicator will light
when the most significant number overflows the last
storage register. The relationship between gate time,
measured frequency, displayed digits, and overflow is
shown in Table 2-5.
