Counter 
 
DG1000Z provides a counter which can measure various parameters (such as 
frequency, period, duty cycle, positive pulse width and negative pulse width) of 
external input signal and support statistic of measurement results. When the statistic 
function is enabled, the instrument calculates the maximum, minimum, average and 
standard deviation of the measurement values automatically and displays the 
variation tendency of the measurement values in “Digital” or “Curve” mode. In 
addition, the dual channels can still output normally when the counter is enabled.  
 
To Enable the Counter 
 
Press  Counter at the front panel (the backlight turns on and the left indicator 
flickers) to enable counter function and enter counter setting interface.
