Measuring Characteristics
Frequency and
Period Measurement
Method: Reciprocal-counting technique. AC-coupled
input using the ac voltage measurement
function.
Voltage Ranges 100 mV rms full scale to 750 V rms. Auto or
manual ranging.
Settling
Considerations Errors will occur when attempting to measure the frequency
or period of an input following a dc offset voltage change.
The input blocking RC time constant must be allowed to
fully settle (up to 1 sec ) before the most accurate
measurements are possible.
Measurement
Considerations All frequency counters are susceptible to error when
measuring low-voltage, low-frequency signals.
Shielding inputs from external noise pickup is critical for
minimizing measurement errors.

[ 1 ] Relative to calibration standards.
[ 2 ] 20% overrange on all ranges, except 750 Vac.
[ 3 ] Input > 100 mV. For 10 mV to 100 mV inputs, multiply % of reading
error x10.
[ 4 ] 750 Vac range limited to 100 kHz
