Introduction
The specifications of the HP 53131A/132A Universal Counter are provided
in this chapter.
1
Specifications and Characteristics for Channels 1 and 2 are identical for both Common and Separate configurations.
2
Values shown are for X1 attenuator setting. Multiply all values by 10 (nominal) when using the X10 attenuator setting. Note that it may be
necessary to recalibrate the input offset in the application environment (especially at high temperature) to achieve maximum sensitivity.
3
When ordered with optional rear terminals, the Channel 1 and 2 inputs are active on both the front and rear of the universal counter though the
specifications provided only apply to the rear terminals. Performance for the front terminals is degraded, but may be improved by terminating
the rear terminals into 50
Ω
.
