Frequency Counter Measurement 
The hardware frequency counter supplied with MSO1000Z/DS1000Z oscilloscope can 
make more precise measurement of the input signal frequency. 
Press Measure  Counter to select CH1-CH4 or D0-D15 as the measurement 
source. The measurement result is displayed at the upper right corner of the screen 
and you can identify the current measurement source according to the color of the 
icon and channel number. The following figure is the result of the frequency 
measurement of the input signal of CH1. 
Select “OFF” to disable the frequency counter measurement function. 
Measurement Setting 
  Source Selection 
Press Measure  Source to select the desired channel for measurement 
(CH1-CH4, MATH or D0-D15). The color of the parameter icons under MENU at 
the left of the screen will change with the source selected. 
  Delay Measurement Setting 
Specify the source1 and source2 in the measurement items “Delay 1→2 ” and 
“Delay 1
→2 ”. 
Press Measure  Setting  Type  “Delay” and then press SourceA and 
SourceB to set the two channel sources (CH1-CH4 or D0-D15) of delay 
measurement respectively. 
  Phase Measurement Setting 
Specify the source1 and source2 in the measurement items “Phase 1→2 ” 
and “Phase 1
→2 ”. 
Press Measure  Setting  Type  “Phase” and then press SourceA and 
SourceB to set the two channel sources (CH1-CH4 or D0-D15) of phase 
measurement respectively. 
  Threshold Measurement Setting 
Specify the upper limit, lower limit and middle value of the auto measurement of 
the analog channel. Measurements of all the time, delay and phase parameters 
will be influenced by this setting.  
Press Measure  Setting  Type  “Threshold” and then:
