Actual for You - Frequency Counter Methods
If an organization lacks a mission statement, it is worthwhile to at least try to draft one. Even if it does not yield an acceptable final draft, the exercise will be rewarding for the hard work which must go into figuring out the company’s direction and putative purpose.Mission statements can help companies determine their proper market niche, suggest new fields for the company to conquer, and
For example the counter is started at the rising edge of the input signal and stopped at the next rising edge. Now the counter reading is actually the period of the input signal in multiples of the master clock.

We will review some of the areas that readers may want to consider in this short article.The type of business that you set up will dictate the equipment you n
The obvious method is to feed the measurement signal into a counter chip which is turned on for a set period e.g. 1 second.
The counter value is actually the frequency measurement since:
f = events/time = counter value/1 second = counter value in Hz.The problem with this method is that the resolution of the counter is 1Hz and the number of digits displayed is dependent on the input frequency:
A 1Hz input gives 1 digit
A 100Hz input gives 3 digits etc.
The resolution is in Hz (dependent on the gate time -which must be a multiple (or sub-multiple) of a second) - this is why the reciprocal counting method is better as it gives a resolution in terms of the master clock frequency inside the unit that is not dependent on gate time and the number of digits is also not dependent on the input frequency.
Reciprocal frequency counting
The second method is reciprocal counting where instead of counting the input signal you count periods of a master clock and instead of counting the input signal edges you let the input signal start and stop the counter.
For example the counter is started at the rising edge of the input signal and stopped at the next rising edge. Now the counter reading is actually the period of the input signal in multiples of the master clock.

Getting approved for financing following a bankruptcy is not easy. Because a bankruptcy can reduce your credit score by 100 points, re-establishing credit is essential. On the contrary, lenders are not very eager to extend a new line of credit to persons with bad credit. Furthermore, getting a good rate on a home or car loan is nearly impossible. Since auto dealers have special programs for bad credit

If you've ever heard of Network Marketing, you've probably heard it said that it is essentially a people's business. Some have also labeled it a people's franchise because of the similarities between the business models of network marketing and franchising. Advocates of the industry name it as the ultimate people's business and say there is nothing quite like it. People that are in network marketing w

Foreign exchange brokers are unlike others financial brokers, they do not take commission from customer. However, they only work for banks. Their roles are to bring together buyers and sellers into the market,and to optimize the price showing to their customers quickly, accurately, and authentically executing the traders' orders.The majority of the foreign exchange brokers execute business via

Computers and Information Technologies are as ubiquitous in our lives today as the air we breathe. Computers have led to a third information revolution taking its place alongside agricultural and industrial revolutions. We see computers everywhere, in Desktop PC’s, PDA’s, cars, washing machines, ATM’s - everywhere. The resulting multiplication of humankind’s intellectual strength has affected our dail
For example the counter is started at the rising edge of the input signal and stopped at the next rising edge. Now the counter reading is actually the period of the input signal in multiples of the master clock.
Its called reciprocal counting since you have to work out:
f= 1.0 / periodto work out the frequency.
The reason for using reciprocal counting
Reciprocal counting is more difficult as you have to use floating point routines to work out the frequency but because the counter counts edges of a master clock the resolution is fixed in multiples of that master clock and not dependent on the input signal i.e. the frequency counter will show all digits regardless of the frequency of the input.
The resolution of the measurement is better since in a normal counter the count will be out by ±1 Hz count whereas the reciprocal counter will be out by ±1 master clock cycle.
Note: This does not mean that it is more accurate - accuracy depends on the clock stability of the unit.
Reciprocal counters are useful for period measurements and you will find for commercial counters that they usually have two inputs labeled A and B. You can set up the frequency counter to just measure A frequency on A or on B but you can also do signal period measurements e.g. trigger on the
