3.3.2 Output Function

(Frequency Measurement)

Fully insert the 9094 output cord (optional) into the output

terminal.

An output of DC 1 V is produced for 1000 counts on the

full scale of the frequency range. The output is

synchronized with the screen updating rate. (The output

waveform will be in a stepped shape due to D/A outputs.)

1. Edit the settings while referring to 3.3.1 Fre-

quency Measurement.

2. Press the OUTPUT key; OUT1 and OUT2 will

light up, indicating that the output function is

enabled. OUT1 outputs the frequency numeri-

cal record, and OUT2 outputs the current

numerical record.

• The 10-Hz range or 100-Hz range will display up

to 125% of each range.

• Pressing the MAX/MIN key will not affect the out-

put.

• The bar graph shows the current measurement.

• Zero cross detection of waveforms is used for

frequency measurement. In the case of special

waveforms, such as those of inverters, the fre-

quencies may not be measured despite the fact

that a low-pass filter is used (when the carrier

frequencies are as low as several kHz, the car-

rier component cannot be removed and zero

cross detection therefore cannot be performed

correctly, thereby increasing the reading).

• If there is a DC waveform including 0 V, zero

cross detection cannot be performed correctly

and the reading may be increased or become

unstable.

To prevent malfunction, be careful not to

short-circuit the output terminal or apply a

voltage to it.
