FCA3000/3100 Series Timer/Counter/Analyzers Feature-rich Tools for Precision Measurements Features Featuring: 300 MHz, 3 GHz, 20 GHz models Up to 3 input channels 12 digit/sec frequency resolution 50 ps (FCA3100) or 100 ps (FCA3000) single-shot time resolution o phase resolution 250 k samples/sec data transfer rate to internal memory; up to 15 k samples/sec block data transfer rate over bus Continuous data streaming over USB/GPIB bus (FCA3100) Up to 13 automated frequency, time, phase and voltage measurements Totalize measurement (FCA3100) Trend plot, statistics, histogram analysis modes USB and GPIB device ports on rear panel National Instruments LabVIEW SignalExpress™ TE Limited Edition included 3-year warranty Benefits Analyze your device with graphical display modes The FCA3000 and FCA3100 Series offer industry-leading time and frequency resolution for accurate measurements. 12 digit/s frequency resolutionSee small changes in frequency with industry-leading frequency resolution. Down to 50 ps time resolutionAccurately capture signal details with industry-leading single-shot time resolution. Multi-parameter displayRead critical auxiliary measurement values displayed with your main frequency, time, or phase measurement to quickly asses your device’s performance. Trend Plot modePlot measurement trends and graphically identify the extent of drift and intermittent events. Histogram modeDiscover stability or noise problems by viewing results as a histogram. Statistics modeView multiple statistical values such as average, min, max, standard and Allan deviation to see how your signal is changing. Optional TimeView™ softwareTransform your counter/timer into a modulation domain analyzer and see frequency changes over time to truly characterize your device’s performance. USB and GPIB portsEasily connect to a personal computer for further analysis or into an ATE system with the back-panel USB and GPIB ports; an emulation mode for legacy counter/timers further simplifies integrating into an existing ATE system. PC ConnectivityControl your counter/timer, log data, and simply transfer and document your results with the included copy of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress software.
