Agilent 81101A Specifications

Timing Specifications

Period

Period can also be entered as frequency.

There are 2 period generation sources available:

• startable oscillator (variable frequency oscillator VFO)

• high-accuracy frequency generator (PLL)

Glitch-free timing changes

You can sweep your timing values without danger of spurious pulses or

drop outs that could cause measurement errors. This applies to

continuous mode with timing values < 100 ms (frequency: < 10 Hz), and

consecutive values between one-half and twice the previous value.

Period Agilent 81101A

Range: 20 ns to 999.5 s

Resolution: 3.5 digits, 5 ps best case for VFO

4 digits, 1 ps best case for PLL

Accuracy: PLL: ±0.01%

VFO: ±5%

Repeatability: typic ally 4 times better than accuracy

RMS-jitter: PLL: 0.001% + 15 ps

VFO: 0.01% + 15 ps

Frequency range: 1.00 mHz to 50 MHz
