Tektronix FCA3000/3100 Frequency Counters

The Tektronix FCA Series frequency counter, timer, and analyzer packs the functionality of a frequency counter, frequency meter and timer into one feature-rich instrument. With unprecedented resolution, you can capture very small frequency and time changes. Tektronix frequency counters and timers offer comprehensive analysis modes, including measurement statistics, histograms, and trend plots. This allows engineers the ability to immediately determine potential jitter phenomenon.
