i use an Agilent 53132A as a TIC and Uli's Plotter to analyze the time
hi tom,
thank you very much! that is quite interesting. i am happy to learn that
there is nothing wrong with *my* counter! converting the non-linearity
effect into a correction table is beyond my abilities, but simply
knowing that this effect is inherent to the 53132a counter helps a lot.
What happens if you use Timelab to analyze the same data instead of Plotter?
I find that, depending on the dataset, one program or the other will
sometimes have trouble removing the steps completely. They leave small
steps behind. It isn't related to the counter used, but seems to be
with a teenage girl in the house it is easy to prefer macs over pcs...
unfortunately, Timelab does not work on my mac, but Plotter does (via
CrossOver).
however, if there is just a small number of data points per cycle,
Plotter will not remove the steps automatically, you have to do it
I've seen similar results with my Racal-Dana 1992 counter. It has
trouble measuring time intervals when the inputs are almost in phase. I
think there has been discussion in the past about how various counters
handle that, but I can't find it right now.
