Frequency Counter: Arvin Abdillah Syaddad 1341160011 JTD - 2B

A frequency counter is an electronic instrument that measures the number of oscillations or pulses per second in a repetitive electronic signal. It has buttons and sockets on the panel to control settings like gate time and selection. To calibrate it, a 6 MHz sample frequency is connected to check that the frequency counter still measures accurately. To use it, an oscillator is connected and the frequency counter is set to the lowest range with one second gate, then the oscillator frequency is varied to test different measurements.

FUNCTION
In many ways using a frequency counter is very simple. A frequency
counter is an electronic instrument, or component of one, that is used
for measuring frequency. Frequency is defined as the number of
events of a particular sort occurring in a set period of time. Frequency
counters usually measure the number of oscillations or pulses per
second in a repetitive electronic signal. Such an instrument is
sometimes referred to as a cymometer, particularly one of Chinese
manufacture.

CALIBRATION

The back of the Frequency Counter Power cable than there are
sockets for connection to PLN 220V socket, there was a hole
Sample Frequency 6 Mhz. Useful when we want to know what is
the Frequency Counter is still functioning accurately/
inconspicuous.
The steps are:
1. Turn on FC, then Setting FC GATE TIME = 0.1 seconds, SELECTOR
= CH1, cable docking probe on the socket (A)
2. Push the rear of the probe in the socket FC. Clip / GND probe is not
used.
3. See the results display on the screen FC, where shows 6.000 Mhz,
demonstrate that FC is still accurate.

HOW TO USE

1. Connect oscillator to frequency counter using the BNC cable.


2. Turn oscillator and frequency counter power on.
3. Select a pure, unmodulated waveform from the oscillator: sine,
triangle, or pulse.
4. Set the oscillator's amplitude (output level) about halfway. Set its
frequency to about 1000 Hz.
5. Set the frequency counter to the lowest frequency range. Set its
gate to one per second. If it has a frequency/period mode, set it
to frequency.

6. If the frequency counter has a "Hold" button, press it. The display
should hold the same count. Press "Hold" again to resume
normal operation.
7. Change the counter's mode to "Period," if it has that mode. It
should now display a time interval of about .001 seconds.
8. Change the oscillator frequency. The counter should show the
new frequency momentarily.
9. Change the "Gate" setting. The display should update less often
but with higher resolution.
