Controls
1. Power Switch - This slide switch turns the counter on and initiates a 2 second
test of all the LCD segments.
2. Range Switch - This should be switched to the 300 MHz position for frequencies
between 1 MHz and 300 MHz and switched to the 3 GHz position for frequencies
between 10 MHz and 3 GHz.
3. Filter Switch - This slide switch turns the filter on and off.
4. Hold Button - This holds the current display and stops the counter from
counting.
5. Gate Button - This selects the gate or measurement time. A longer gate time
allows counting for longer period and results in higher accuracy.
6. Calibration - The calibration adjustment opening is located on the front
panel of the counter. This allows access to the trimmer capacitor that
provides about a 10 PPM adjustment range of the time base oscillator. This
is not usually necessary but to do so read a signal of an known frequency
before adjusting the trimmer for correct frequency display. If you calibrate
at 4.1943 MHz or above then the counter will be more accurate.
