Range,
Freq A:
0.1 Hz to 160 MHz
Freq B:

Frequency A/A
0
A Frequency A measurement is performed. The meas-
ured frequency is divided by the constant A
0
before dis-
play. The resolution of the displayed ratio is determined
by the FREQ A measurement. At power on A
0
is set to 1
(default).
Frequency A-A
0
A Frequency A measurement is performed. The value of
the constant A
0
is substracted from the measured fre-
quency before display. The resolution of the displayed
difference is determined by the FREQ A measurement.
At power on A
0
is set to 0 (default).
RPM A
A FREQUENCY A measurement is done. The measured
frequency is multiplied with 60, and shown on the dis-
play as revolutions per minute (RPM).
Range: 6 RPM to 720
