Agilent 53100-series high-performance frequency counters give you fast, precise frequency measurements at an affordable price. These frequency counters feature an intuitive user interface and one-button access to frequently used functions so you can make accurate measurements quickly and easily.

These instruments use real-time digital signal processing technology to analyze data while simultaneously taking new readings, speeding measurement throughput. The technology, developed for Agilent's high-end line of modulation domain analyzers, allows the counters to gather more data for each measurement, so you get higher-resolution measurements in a fraction of the time it takes a conventional reciprocal counter.

All Agilent 53100-series frequency counters offer built-in statistics and math functions so you can scale measurements and simultaneously measure and track average, min/max and standard deviation. Automated limit testing lets you set upper and lower limits for any measurement. An analog display mode lets you see at a glance whether a measurement is within pass/fail limits. The frequency counters flag out-of-limit conditions and can generate an output signal to trigger external devices when a limit is exceeded. For quick access to frequently used tests, a single keystroke recalls up to 20 different stored front-panel set-ups.

For computer-controlled systems applications, each Agilent 53100-series frequency counter includes a standard HP-IB interface with full SCPI-compatible programmability and a data transfer rate of more than 200 fully formatted measurements per second. The standard RS-232 talk-only interface provides printer support or data transfer to a computer through a terminal-emulation program.

Agilent 53131A Universal Counter

The two-channel Agilent 53131A counter offers 10 digits per second of resolution and a bandwidth of 225 MHz. An optional third channel provides frequency measurements up to 1.5, 3, 5, or 12.4 GHz. Standard measurements include frequency, period, ratio, time interval, pulse width, phase angle, duty cycle, totalize, peak voltage and rise time. Time interval resolution is specified at 500 ps.

Agilent 53132A Universal Counter

For applications requiring higher resolution, the Agilent 53132A offers the same features and functions as the Agilent 53131A, with up to 12 digits/sec resolution. Time interval resolution is specified at 150 ps.

Agilent 53181A RF Counter

Optimized for RF applications, the single-channel 10 digit/s Agilent 53181A measures frequency, period and peak voltage. A digit-blanking function lets you easily eliminate unnecessary digits when you want to read measurements quickly. For higher-frequency measurements, choose an optional second channel that provides measurements up to 1.5, 3, 5, 12.4 GHz. A self-guided shallow menu makes this counter exceptionally easy to use.

Agilent BenchLink Meter turns your counter into a data acquisition system

Used in conjunction with an Agilent 53100-series counter, Agilent BenchLink Meter software gives you the flexibility to configure and run tests from your PC, making data gathering more convenient. Agilent BenchLink Meter also lets you get more information from your data by providing a variety of basic display modes and analysis tools so you can see your data the way you need it.

Agilent BenchLink Meter lets you completely configure tests using Agilent 53100-series counters, including measurement type, number of readings, measurement speed, and more. You can choose display modes from real-time strip chart, histogram, readout, and table mode, scale measurements data and make it look the way you want it, and easily copy captured data to other programs for more complex analysis.
