To Turn the Frequency Counter On/Off 
 
The hardware frequency counter supplied with this oscilloscope can make more 
precise measurement of the input signal frequency. 
 
Press Measure  Counter and turn the multi-function knob   to select the 
desired channel as the measurement source of the frequency counter. You can also 
press Counter continuously to switch the current measurement source. CH1 to CH4, 
EXT and D0-D15 can be selected as the measurement source. When “OFF” is 
selected, the frequency counter measurement function is turned off. 
 
The measurement result is displayed at the upper right side of the screen. The color 
of the icon corresponds to that of the current measurement source. The following 
figure is the result of frequency measurement of CH1. 
 
 
Note: When the frequency of the input signal of the measurement source is lower 
than 15 Hz, the measurement result displayed is “< 15 Hz”.
