Calculating Frequency Counter Error
Use the following equation to calculate the frequency counter error (ppm).
1
+
20
* 1, 000, 000
where
MeasurementTime is the time, in seconds, over which the frequency counter
measurement is configured to run
UnknownClockPeriod is the time, in seconds, of the period of the signal being measured
TB
err
is the error of the Clk100 timebase
Refer to the following table for a few examples of common Clk100 timebase accuracies.
