These Pendulum frequency standards suit the highest demands for stability. All frequency standards offer multiple buffered outputs (5x or 10x outputs of 10 MHz sine). Choose from the low-cost 6688 based on a very-high-stability oven-controlled SC-cut crystal oscillator or the 6689 with a built-in Rubidium atomic clock. These standards are suited for use in automatic test systems, for example in the production department of telecommunications companies, especially when multiple instruments/testers need to be supplied with a stable frequency reference. The Pendulum CNT-102 is a new affordable model in the CNT-100 family for super-performance Multi-channel frequency and time-interval analysis in a bench-top unit. You can track parallel frequency, phase, or time simultaneously on 2 input channels on the large graphic screen. These instruments feature gap-free measurements, and have 14 ps resolution, up to 13 digits/s frequency resolution, and a measuring speed of 1M results/s. CNT-102 outperforms any competing Timer/Counter/Analyzer on the market.
For even higher performance, please check our CNT-104S, a 4-input Multi-channel Frequency Analyzer with 7ps resolution and a speed of up to 20MSa/s.
The CNT-102 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-102 to your local wireless network. A USB 2.0 communication interface is HW ready from the 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-102 can be configured as you like 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).
The CNT-102 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 2-channel design enables 2 parallel frequency measurements. One CNT-102 can replace 2 existing frequency counters in a test system at a lower cost/counter.
The CNT-102 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 1µs 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-102 from a large PC-screen.
