Agilent / HP 5384A Frequency Counter (10 Hz to 225 MHz)
Description:
The HP/Agilent 5384A Frequency Counter utilizes interpolar-enhanced reciprocal counting to provide outstanding performance at a low cost. Frequency coverage allows measurements from 10 Hz to 225 MHz, with resolution of 9 digits per second. The 5384A incorporates a programmable alphanumeric display, accessible remotely via either HP-IB (standard) or HP-IL (optional). The liquid crystal display (LCD) reduces component count, is easy to read (indoors or out), and improves counter reliability and serviceability.

• High Input Sensitivity
• At least 15 mV rms sensitivity reduces the
need for preamps and improves low-level
signal measurement accuracy
• Extensive Input Conditioning
• A low pass filter, automatic or manual
attenuator and trigger level control features
provide versatile signal-to-noise conditioning
or optimum accuracy
• Variable Display Digits
• View only readable digits from stable signals
by controlling the number of display digits.
Use as few as 3 or as many as 11 digits
• External dc Operation
• Wide range (9-15V) external dc input power
allows use of sources such as 12V
automobile power to keep the timebase warm,
or charge the battery option while in transit to
remote sites.
