Integrate frequency measurements: Optional
10-digit counter and totalizer
With the 6000 X-Series’ optional 10-digit counter (Option
DSOXDVMCTR), 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.

2.5-GHz signal.
Figure 33. The precise 10-digit counter found the true frequency of a
clock to be a little less than 20 MHz.
The totalizer feature of the DSOXDVMCTR 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.
