The Pendulum CNT-104S Multi-Channel Frequency Analyzer is a revolutionary new concept for super-performance multichannel frequency and time-interval analysis in a bench-top unit. You can track parallel frequency, phase or time simultaneously on 4 input channels on the large graphic screen. These instruments feature gap-free measurements, and have < 7 ps resolution time resolution, up to 13 digits/s frequency resolution, and a measuring speed of 20M results/s. CNT-104S can replace and outperform any existing Timer/Counter/Analyzer on the market.
The ultra-high single-shot resolution gives better insights into the design under test, faster results in phase comparisons between clocks, more accurate calibration, and allows capture of very small time/phase changes. Track and compare 4 parallel signals with 7 ps resolution/timestamp, at a speed of 50 ns between samples in each channel.
The CNT-104S comes as standard with a Gbit Ethernet interface for remote control and data transfer. Using a WiFi dongle in the front panel USB port, enables you to connect CNT-104S to your local wireless network. A USB 2.0 communication interface is HW ready from start, with later full SW capabilities, via free future SW upgrade. You can access and control the instrument from your lab bench, or from anywhere in the world, using the integrated web server.
The CNT-104S can be configured as you like it to fit performance demands and/or budget. You can add an optional extra channel C for RF frequency measurements. Choose either a 3, or 10 GHz basic HW (The 10 GHz channel is SW key upgradable to 15, 20, or 24 GHz) Choose between 3 timebase oscillator options; TCXO and 2x OCXO Add an optional 0.5 Hz to 100 MHz pulse generator (SW license key) Add optional TIE measurement function (SW license key).
One of the great features of the CNT-104S is the graphic display with its menu-oriented settings. The non-expert can easily make correct settings without risking costly mistakes. Valuable signal information, given in multi-parameter displays, removes the need for other instruments like DVM’s and Scopes for quick signal verification.
The 4-channel design enables 4 parallel frequency measurements. One CNT-104S can replace 4 existing frequency counters in a test system at a lower cost/counter.
The CNT-104S features built-in modulation domain analysis, displaying frequency changes vs. time, on one to four input channels. Thanks to the high resolution, and the high measurement speed of down to 50 ns between individual samples in each channel, you can follow and verify for example:
The big color touch screen with its intuitive menus, lets you make your settings via a simple finger touch. Alternatively, you can connect a wireless mouse to the front USB host port, and make your settings via mouse clicks on the screen instead. Or you can use the web-server interface to control CNT-104S from a large PC-screen.
