[time-nuts] Panel Mount Frequency Counter

2011-07-15 Thread Richard W. Solomon
I am looking for a Frequency Counter I can Panel Mount. I am 
cobbling up a Rb in a Box for portable use and the counter will 
tell me if I have a signal. 

Any ideas where I can find something like that ? Frequency range 
not important (only need up to 30 MHz or so).

Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ

There used to be an intersil chip you wired up to a 8-digit LED
display and an xtal, containing the entire digital part of a
frequency counter.

Alternatively, many microcontrollers have counter-inputs that can
run that fast.

 Would something that just shows 10.0 be OK ?

Hi Dick,
There are any number of good PIC + LCD module designs out there e.g. 
http://www.qsl.net/om3cph/om3cph.html and
http://www.embedds.com/discover-the-mystery-of-16f84-pic-frequency-counter/ 
You can also find them on ebay, e.g 170658478755 150444654388

Re: [time-nuts] Panel Mount Frequency Counter

2011-07-15 Thread Robert Darlington
The problem is if you use your Rb as a reference for the counter.  It will
always read 10MHz.   If you don't use it, something will drift.  I opted to
just panel mount an LED to indicate lock.

I have one of these.  Think I paid about $30 total for it.  It is out
of stock but they still have all the technical details, the scematics
and so on.

I would love to find one like this that takes a 10 MHz ext ref, and will count 
16 MHz to at least 1 Hz.
I need two of those today.

Re: [time-nuts] Panel Mount Frequency Counter

2011-07-15 Thread J. L. Trantham
Not sure what you mean by 'panel mount'.  19 rack mount?  

Also, what resolution and what size limitation?

You might look at the HP 5315A/B or 5316A/B.  You could cut out an
appropriate opening in your panel for it.  They are relatively small 100 MHz
counters and have several options for time base along with options to 1.3
GHz.

Good luck.

Joe
