Factory Set Factory restoration Upgrade The instrument firmware can be updated using a USB storage device through the rear panel USB interface. Counter Setting HF Rejection Enable/disable high frequency rejection. Counter The frequency counter measures signals in the frequency range from 100 mHz to 200 MHz. The [Counter] connector on the rear panel is used by default to receive the frequency counter input signal. The frequency meter works from 13 4.Quick Start the start. (1) Press the Utility function key ,then press the Counter to enter the frequency counter interface. (2) Connect the signal to be tested to the [Counter] connector on the rear panel. (3) Press the HFR softkey to toggle On or Off high frequency rejection. High-frequency rejection can be used to filter high-frequency factors when measuring low-frequency signals, improving measurement accuracy. When measuring low frequency signals with a frequency less than 1 kHz, turn on high frequency rejection to filter out high frequency noise interference; turn off high frequency rejection when measuring high frequency signals with frequencies greater than 1 kHz. (4) The frequency, period and duty cycle can be viewed on the frequency meter interface.Appendix Appendix AAccessories 1 × power cord that meets the standards of the country where you are located 1 × USB communication cable 1 × BNC/Q9 cable 1 x BNC to alligator cable 1 x extra fuse 1 × EN Quick Guide 1 × DE Quick Guide 1 x safety hintsheet 1 x CD ROM Appendix BGeneral Care and Cleaning General Maintenance Do not store or leave the instrument where the liquid crystal display will be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.
