The 53100 series counters use real-time digital signal processing to analyze data
The 53100 series counters use real-time digital signal processing to analyze data while simultaneously taking new readings. So while other counters are stuck in processing dead time, these counters have already moved on to the next measurement. And with continuous HP-IB data transfer rates of more than 200 measurements per second, you¡¯ll get the job done in a hurry.
Automated limit tests, instant recall of test setups and one-button access to the features you need most simplify your work. Plus, you can perform statistics on all measurements and simultaneously measure and track average, min/max and standard deviation.
Features
Resolution of 10 or 12 digits/second; frequency ranges up to 3 GHz
Versatile test and analysis features help you extract information from your measurement data
Choice of three models to fit your needs and budget
