Is the CPU strictly an I/O machine or does it do any of the timing for the
counter?
All the counting is hardware.
Not so for the 5370A (was this changed for the 5370B?), the 16 bit N0
counter length is extended in software when and if required.
Basically the CPU arms, waits, reads registers, does math, puts on
display and sends display over GPIB if asked to.
