Rif.: Measuring pulse with 53220A

[SarahYac]

Hi,

Need your help because we do not find the correct way to measure a 5ms (pulse width) 3V3 (pulse voltage) using the keysight 53220A frequency counter.

We can see the pulse width manually using the instrument, but when it's time to use labview to automate the measurement, the measurement is not always repetable : sometime we can detect the pulse sometimes not.

Did any one get this usse before ?

Thanks

try doing a search on the LabVIEW Forum (i.e. right here, using the Search function) for "53220A".  You might find some useful suggestions, including "Learn LabVIEW".

Hi,

do you havee found the solution? since i'm facing the same problem, when i measure a positive width pulse duration the instrument show an errorthat is equivalent to the mean measure. Why that? my measures are in in microseconds values.

Thank you for the help!

Best Regards,

Zuc

Some of us who regularly read the posts on the Forum where a member says something vague like "I'm facing the same problem, when I measure a positive width pulse duration the instrument shows an error that is equivalent to the mean measure", but fails to provide any useful information for those of us who are not "mind-readers" (like attaching the LabVIEW code that doesn't work, telling us what LabVIEW version they are running, or what instrument they are using.  (Instruments should be identified by more than just their model number, if only as a courtesy to Forum users who aren't intimately familiar with that model number ...).  Many times, no LabVIEW code, not even a "picture" of code, is attached.  

Please help us to help you.
