DC501
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)
