Hi, The 53310A is a very nice instrument for frequency and time interval measurements. The displayed time on the screen in divided in slots, 225 or 450, depending on measurement mode. In a slot every edge is counted but the first edge is timed by interpolation. In the 53310A I have and the ot

Jose As with most things, it depends. The 53310A was designed and marketed at the RF design community where there was a need to be able to display parameters such as settling time of PLLs and to display frequency-based modulation modes in the time domain. To this end, the 53310A is a superb inst

Does anyone use an HP 53310A modulation domain analyzer (it is like an oscilloscope for frequency - displays frequency in Y and time in X, also does histograms, stdev, etc.) What are gotchas, drawbacks and advantages using it as a counter, stability measurements instead of a simple counter? It
