Overview
Keysight 53220A 350 MHz Universal Frequency Counter/Timer, 12 digits/s, 100 ps
The Keysight 53200 Series is a new generation of 350 MHz RF/universal frequency counter/timers with optional 6 GHz or 15GHz inputs. The first frequency counters with LXI Class C compliance, the 53200 family is built with LAN and USB I/O for ease of connectivity and data collection. The combination of high-speed measurements and built-in analysis and graphical display provides new functionality that has not previously been available in basic frequency counter/timers.
Frequency counters are depended on in R&D and in manufacturing for the fastest, most accurate frequency and time interval measurements. The 53200 Series of RF and universal frequency counter/timers expands on this expectation to provide you with the most information, connectivity and new measurement capabilities, while building on the speed and accuracy you’ve depended on with Keysight Technologies, Inc. time and frequency measurement expertise.
Three available models offer resolution capabilities up to 12 digits/sec frequency resolution on a one second gate. Single- shot time interval measurements can be resolved down to 20 psec. All models offer new built-in analysis and graphing capabilities to maximize the insight and information you receive.
Key features
– More frequency: 350 MHz baseband frequency, 6 or 15GHz optional microwave channels
– More resolution: Up to 12 digits/sec and 20-ps single-shot time interval
– More information accessibility: 1 M reading memory, up to 75,000 frequency readings/sec, strip chart/trend plot, cumulative histograms
– More connectivity: First LXI-compliant counters (LXI/Ethernet, USB, GPIB connectivity)
