3-37.Frequency Resolution, N Switch

3-38. The FREQUENCY RESOLUTION, N switch determines the amount of time that the counter’s main gate is open for a particular measurement when the Main Gate FF (refer to Section IV) determines the gate time. Depending on the measurement, this time results in a certain measurement resolution (e.g., frequency measurements), a number of intervals aver- aged (e.g., T.1. AVG measurements), or a scaling factor by which the time base is divided (e. g., period measurements). Table 3-2 shows the setting of the RESOLUTION switch and the corre- sponding time the main gate is open.
