10-digit counter and totalizer

With the 6000 X-Series’ standard 10-digit counter, your

expectations of an oscilloscope counter will be redefined.

Traditional oscilloscope counter measurements offer only five

or six digits of resolution. While this level of precision is fine for

quick measurements, it falls short of expectations when the

most critical frequency measurements are being made. With the

integrated 10-digit counter in the 6000 X-Series, you can see

your measurements with the precision you would normally expect

only from a standalone counter. Because the integrated counter

measures frequencies up to a wide bandwidth of 3.2 GHz, you

can use it for many high-frequency applications as well. If you

are looking for the ultimate precision, you can optionally connect

your 6000 X-Series oscilloscope to your most trusted 10-MHz

reference source to share a common 10-MHz clock.

The totalizer feature of the counter option adds another valuable

capability to the oscilloscope. It can count the number of events

(totalize), and it also can monitor the number of trigger-condition-

qualified events. Note, the trigger-qualified events totalizer

does not require an actual trigger to occur. It only requires a

trigger-satisfying event to take place. In other words, the totalizer

can monitor events faster than the trigger rate of a scope, as fast

as 25 million events per second (a function of the oscilloscope’s

holdoff time, which has the minimum of 40 ns). Figures 34 and

35 show examples of a totalizer counting the number of FlexRay

error packets and the number of runt signals that took place in a

design.
