Integrate frequency measurements: Standard
10-digit counter and totalizer
With the 6000 X-Series’ standard 10-digit counter, your
expectations of an oscilloscope counter will be redefined.
Traditional oscilloscope counter measurements offer only five
or six digits of resolution. While this level of precision is fine for
quick measurements, it falls short of expectations when the
most critical frequency measurements are being made. With the
integrated 10-digit counter in the 6000 X-Series, you can see
your measurements with the precision you would normally expect
only from a standalone counter. Because the integrated counter
measures frequencies up to a wide bandwidth of 3.2 GHz, you
can use it for many high-frequency applications as well. If you
are looking for the ultimate precision, you can optionally connect
your 6000 X-Series oscilloscope to your most trusted 10-MHz
reference source to share a common 10-MHz clock.

The totalizer feature of the counter option adds another valuable
capability to the oscilloscope. It can count the number of events
(totalize), and it also can monitor the number of trigger-condition-
qualified events. Note, the trigger-qualified events totalizer
does not require an actual trigger to occur. It only requires a
trigger-satisfying event to take place. In other words, the totalizer
can monitor events faster than the trigger rate of a scope, as fast
as 25 million events per second (a function of the oscilloscope’s
holdoff time, which has the minimum of 40 ns). Figures 34 and
35 show examples of a totalizer counting the number of FlexRay
error packets and the number of runt signals that took place in a
design.
