| KungFuJosh:
Here's an example from another post I made where I was testing the frequency range and accuracy of my LCR and the accuracy of the frequency mode on my DMM: |

I think you can get a lot of counter capability for less than $200. https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/which-frequency-counter-gt1-0-ghz/msg3696472/#msg3696472 |

Keysight still has them (for an exorbitant mountain of money as usual). How are frequencies and periods measured these days with some decent accuracy and many-digits-of-resolution, not as a by-product in a scope or multimeter? --- End quote --- After the last financial crisis, I bought a boatload of used test gear on Ebay, including HP and Agilent frequency counters. I feed these a reference clock from a GPS-disciplined Rubidium oscillator, also bought then via Ebay. Companies were cancelling projects, closing business units, going bankrupt, and liquidating stock. So bargains were everywhere. We may get another financial crisis. This time, it might be triggered by US commercial real estate debt blowing up. Have some savings ready, to take advantage in case it does. Be prepared. |
