Frequency and Frequency Counter Measurements

Frequency Measurement

During AC/DC voltage or AC/DC current measurements, you can measure the signal

frequency by pressing at any time.

Frequency Counter Measurement

1Set the rotary switch to .

2Press to select the frequency counter ( ) function. The

default input signal frequency is divided by 1. This allows signals

up to a maximum frequency of 985 kHz to be measured.

3Connect the red and black test leads to input terminals V (red) and

COM (black) respectively.

4Probe the test points and read the display.

5If the reading is unstable or zero, press to select division of

input signal frequency by 100 ( will be shown on the display).

This accommodates a higher frequency range of up to 20 MHz.

6The signal is out of the U1253A frequency measurement range of

20 MHz if the reading is still unstable after Step 5.

Square Wave Output

1Turn the rotary switch to .

2Press to select duty cycle (%) on the primary display.

3The default square wave frequency is 600 Hz as shown by the

secondary display, with a 50% duty cycle as shown by the primary

display.

4Press or to scroll through the available frequencies (there are

28 frequencies to choose from).

5Press or to adjust the duty cycle. The duty cycle can be set

from 0.390625% to 99.609375%, in steps of 0.390625%. The displayed

duty cycle has a resolution of 0.001%.

WARNING

Use the frequency counter for low voltage applications. Never use the frequency

counter on AC power line systems.
