FUNCTION AND RANGE HINTS AND COMMENTS
When reset is depressed, the display and counting
registers are cleared. When reset is released, a new
measurement is started. The Measuring-time-, Func-
tionand display hold- settings are not affected.
If the TOT A function is selected, the RESET/LOCAL
key functions as a START/STOP key. One press
starts the counting and the next press stops it. A long
depression results in reset.
When the counter is controlled from the GPIB-Bus,
the LOCAL key can be disabled via the ’Local Lock
out’ command.
Display hold freezes the display, but not until the
measurement in process has been finished. A new
measurement can always be initiated via the RESET
key.
Store A

is used to store the constant used in func-
tions FREQ A/A
0
and FREQ A-A
0
. The procedure is
described under FUNCTIONS, FREQ A/A
0
.
Use this input for all functions except FREQ B.
Range: 10 Hz to 160 MHz
Impedance: 1 M //30 pF
Min. pulse duration:4 ns
At higher frequencies; use a 50 Ω termination type
PM 9585 to avoid interference caused by impedance
mis match.
The illustration below shows which function block
each of the input controls affect.
This is the HF-input which must be used when the
FREQ-B function is selected. If the Frequency
Counter does not include the Input-B option, the BNC-
connector is replaced by a plastic plug.
