Hi,
Although they are rather less common and more expensive than the ones
you mentioned, Fluke/Philips 6681 counters are also very good.
Nominal resolution is 50ps single shot and 1ps repetitive.
No RS232, but GPIB and a rather basic analogue output are standard.

Hi All,
For over 12 years I have been running a HP53131 12 digit counter and the
freeware Agilent IntuiLink Connectivity Software via an old NI IEEE-488 GPIB to
Ethernet.
From a functionality point of view it is by far the best counter I have used.
Coupled with Intuilink S/W in EXCEL as an
Tom, et al
I have to go with the SR620 of the TI counters I have available, HP
5316B, 5370B and 5372A, the first one that gets an input is the
SR620. They all run off of external time bases but I just like the SR620 best.

The other counter that people swear by is the Stanford
Hi Had:
Me too. Tje SR602's 16 digits always arranged the same way is really
nice. A mostly real front panel with limited levels of menuing is OK.
Got rid of my 53132 because although it could do very fast frequency
measurements, it offered no advantage when doing time interval

Hi all,
I have a run-of-the-mill frequency counter (8 digits, 0.1 and 1.0 sec gate,
no reference oscillator output or ext. input) and would like to upgrade to
something better. I would initially like to measure frequencies
The HP 5334 is a nice counter. I have the B model. The A model has a few more
features (particularly math functions), but the front end is more easily
damaged. For Time Interval measurements, both models are equivalent.
Be aware the built-in standard timebase is not very good. It is also hard to
How do these models compare with the venerable 5370?
I haven't worked with the 5370.
The 5334 doesn't have a fan. It's much easier to find on eBay.
The 5334 blurb says 2 ns, 200 ps with averaging.
The 5370 blurb says 20 ps single shot.

I have. It is bigger than a 5071A Frequency Standards :-).

Time Interval resolution in single shot:
HP 5316: 100nS
HP 5334: 1nS
HP 5370: 20pS
Any question?

For over a decade in the VLBI world, we found that the HP53131 and 53132

good, low cost counters well suited to the time-interval world. GPIB is
always a pain, and we found that the 131/132
