Hello. In the lab, I would like to have an event counter that can double as frequency/period counter, with maximum clock rate in the order of the tens of Hz or so, better with TIC function (aka "chronometer"). Resolution need not be better than 1/100s, counts to 9999, but the input should be simple and permissive, something like 0-5V or 0-12V, or short-to-activate.
I own a Racal-Dana 1995 than can count periods to 1700s, but can't be used as event counter and the inputs are delicate, needing care and attenuators. I also have an Agilent 34401 that can count frequency; the input is very versatile but, for whatever reason they limited the lower frequency to 3Hz so it can't measure slow signals. It also can't be used as event counter or as TIC. I know there are some industrial timer/counters (for example the chinese Sommy /Autonics CT series) but I would like more to have a laboratory instrument, with binding post in the front, mains power, etc... A vintage would be good also, just maybe not so vintage to use dekatron tubes :) (nixie are ok, but it should not weight a ton or shipping to Italy would be prohibitive) Someone has a suggestion?
