Philips 6652C - Introduction; Measuring Functions

INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the operation of the
PM 6652 and PM 6654 from the viewpoint of its
application, and gives practical advice to this
end. The principle functions are described, as
are the use of stored panel programs and the
anciliary facilities. In addition, a few hints
and tips and a short "what went wrong" guide are
included. A chart, showing recommended control
settings for various types of measurements,
appears also in this chapter.
Knowledge of the controls, indicators and con-
nectors is assumed (see chapter 3). The use of
the IEEE 488 bus is not described (see chapter
5), nor are the operation and results of test
programs and other functional checks (see chap-
ter B).
MEASURING FUNCTIONS
The measuring mode function is selected by using
the function control buttons . See chapter 3 and
"Stored Panel Programs" in this chapter. For
theoretical considerations, see chapte r 6.
F REQ A
Sets the instrument to measure the frequency of
the signal connected to input A.
FREQ C
Sets the instrument to measure the frequency of
the signal at input C. FREQ C cannot be selected
if the channel C option, PM 9610 is not fitted.
PERIOD A
Sets the counter to measure the period duration
of the signal connected to input A.
RATIO AlB
Sets the instrument to measure the frequency
ratio between the signals connected to inputs A
and B,
with 8 as the reference signal.
RATIO C/8
Sets the instrument to measure the frequency
ratio between the signals connected to channels
C and 8, with channel B as the reference . Ratio
C/B cannot be selected if the channel C option
PM 9610 is not fitted.
TIME A - B
Sets the instrument to measure the time interval
between events on channels A and B.
