A7 cat Mar 15/94 5363 FREQUENCY COUNTER OPERATION MANUAL 1.4 Outline of Product GENERAL. 1.1 Outline of Product 5363 is the high-speed frequency counter which not only removes the conventional measurement pause time using a new function of continuous measurement, in addition to the measurement for each of frequency, cycle, pulse width, and integrating count, but also allows the continuous measurement for up to 14,000 pieces of data, Also, it allows the high resolution measurement for burst wave measurement using the averaging measurement, With the ADVANTEST's original technique for measuring # fraction part as well as the Reciprocal Method, the measurement uses the reference clock of 100ns whose fraction can be magnified to a maximum of 1,000 times. it allows the same result to be obtained as obtained when tho measurement uses 100ps clock, thus enabling the high resolution measurement with 10-digit display per second. The instrument is used for vorsatilo analyses and enables measurement results to be processed for final data display with OK/NG decision, PPM display, statistics computing, and other computing functions In addition, to ensure automated measurement, it employs the GPIB interface as standard so that the front panel can be controlled from external devices. Its optional accessories include the BCD output unit (13017) and DA output unit (R13018). The othor features of the instrument are: © Low radiation design using EMI technique © Power drive with direct/alternating current and battery drive (using the battery pack "TR15801A/8") ¢ SAVE/RECALL functions for front panel setting condition 14 Mar 15/94 1.2 Accessories R363 FREQUENCY COUNTER OPERATION MANUAL 12 Accessories ‘The units which are used to built into the instrument are shown below: BCD output unit R13017 BCD output unit DVA output unit* R13018 Enables to output 4-digit D/A.

Care should be taken not to extend the connection cable to the instrument and the bus cable to the controller excessively. Aliso, make sure that total length of cables does not exceed 20m. Note that ADVANTEST provides the cables as standard bus cables: Table 7-2 Standard Bus Cables (optional) 408JE-102 408JE-104 When connecting the bus cable, do not pile more than two connectors together. The connector should be firmly secured with connector mounting screws. ‘The bus cable connector is a piggy-back type and one connector has a pair of male and female threads which can be used in joint. T4 Mar 15/94 5363 FREQUENCY COUNTER ‘OPERATION MANUAL 7.1 GPIB Interface @ Before powering on each device, check the power requirement, grounding condition as necessary, and setting condition for it. A\l the devices connected to the bus must be powered on. If there is a device not powered on, it may not ensure entire system operation. © Before connecting/temoving the bus cable, be sure to check that each device is powered off and remove the power cable from the outlet. 7.1.3 Address Setting and Selection of Header ON/OFF Tho panel Keys on tho instrument aro usod to spocify tho GPIB talkliston addroseos and coloct the header ON/OFF. ® when | LCL | is pressed, the initial setting or the previous setting is displayed and two ‘ADRS digits of 107 and 109 for the address setting flash as shown below.
