Resolution Setting Example
For the following example, use the 10 MHz output from the reference timebase as
the input to Channel 1.

The current resolution setting is displayed (the current value and the indicator

the resolution.
You can press these keys as many times as necessary to locate the setting you
want to use. The available resolution settings are 1 Hz (the default setting), 10
Hz, 100 Hz, 1 KHz, 10 KHz, 100 KHz, and 1 MHz.
3 Press the Enter key to activate your setting and exit the resolution-setting

NOTE
The measurement resolution has a direct effect on the amount of time the
Counter requires to complete a measurement. Measurements made at the
Counter’s maximum resolution setting (1 Hz) are noticeably slower than at lower
resolutions. This is especially noticeable when the Counter is set to average a
number of measurements.
