HP 535X Family


[ Summary ][ Features ][ Specifications ][ Ordering ][ Assistance ]

Product Summary

The Hewlett-Packard family of automatic CW microwave frequency counters provides fast and precise measurements from 10 Hz to 46 GHz. Each instrument features microwave components that are integrated on a single hybrid gallium arsenide (GaAs) circuit for added speed and reliability. The HP 535X family is distinguished by wide frequency coverage, exceptional sensitivity, fast tracking, high measurement throughput, and wide FM tolerance.

Built-in microprocessors provide math functions, including measurement scaling and offset. Automatic amplitude discrimination measures the frequency of the highest- amplitude signal in a multi-signal environment. A full set of diagnostic routines provides general information and troubleshooting.

The HP 535X instruments integrate easily into test systems. English-like commands simplify integration with other components, and the easy-to-read liquid crystal displays can serve as message centers for the system.
