03 | Keysight | 53131A/132A/181A Counters - Data Sheet
Keysight IntuiLink provides easy access to the counter’s data from
your PC
The Keysight 53131A/132A/181A counters, capture precise frequency and time measurements.
IntuiLink software allows that data to be put to work easily. You work in a familiar environment
at all times, using PC applications such as Microsoft Excel or Word to analyze, interpret,
display, print, and document the data you get from the counter.
It gives you the flexibility to configure and run tests from your PC making data gathering more
convenient.
Keysight IntuiLink lets you:
– Configure tests, including measurement type, number of readings, measurement speed,
and more.
– Choose display modes from real-time strip chart, histogram, readout, and table mode.
– Scale measurements data.
– Copy captured data to other programs.
Optional timebases offer increased stability
Optional timebases are available for 53131A/132A/181A counters to increase measurement
accuracy. Option 010 provides a high stability oven timebase with aging of less than 5 x 10
-10
per day.
