The Tektronix DC501 is a basic 100 MHz frequency counter plug-in for the TM500 system.

Key Specifications

Input frequency 10 Hz to 100 MHz
Gate time 10 ms to 10 s in decade steps, plus Manual (totalize count of up to 107 events)
Resolution 7 digits
Display 7-digit LED, overflow indicator
Input impedance 1 MΩ // 20 pF, ×5/×10/×50 attenuator (front) or 50 Ω // 20 pF (rear)
Time base stability ≤1×10-5; Opt. 1, ≤5×10-7 (0°C to +50°C after ½h warm-up)
Time base drift ≤1×10-5; Opt. 1, ≤1×10-7 (per month)

Options

  • Option 1 – 5 MHz TCXO with 1:5 divider
  • Option 2 – Automatic Gate Control and Readout Scaling Circuit (automatically selects the 0 .1-, 1-, or 10-second measurement interval to display the largest number of digits without overflow)
