Custom Keysight Universal Frequency Counter/Timer 53230A 350 MHz Manufacturer, Manufacturers

The 53230A is a two-channel frequency counter that can measure continuously and without gaps, as well as frequency and time intervals.

Product Description

Key Points
  • A third channel (6 GHz or 15 GHz) is offered in addition to the two 350 MHz input channels.
  • Resolution of 12 digits per second, time interval resolution of 20 psec
  • Integrated graphical presentation (trend and histogram), color, and mathematical analysis
  • Time stamps and continuous, gap-free data for fundamental modulation domain analysis
  • LAN, USB, and GPIB LXI-C
  • Connecting, controlling instruments, and automating test sequences is made simple with BenchVue software.
All of your frequency and time interval measurement requirements are met by the Keysight 53230A universal frequency counter/timer. For simple modulation domain analysis, continuous/gap-free data are available in addition to the standard frequency and time interval measurements. The software for measuring bursts is available. To measure 6 or 15 GHz, an auxiliary microwave channel can be added.
