CNT-104S

The Pendulum CNT-104S Multi-Channel Frequency Analyser is a revolutionary new concept for super-performance multichannel frequency and time-interval analysis in a bench-top unit.

Users can track parallel frequency, phase or time simultaneously on 4 input channels on the large graphic screen. These instruments feature gap-free measurements and have <7 ps resolution time resolution, up to 13 digits/s frequency resolution, and a measuring speed of 20M results/s.

The CNT-104S can replace and outperform any existing Timer/Counter/Analyser currently on the market.

Super-high-performance: 4-channel, ultra-high speed and 7 ps resolution

The ultra-high single-shot resolution gives better insights into the design under test, faster results in phase comparisons between clocks, more accurate calibration, and allows capture of very small time/phase changes. Track and compare 4 parallel signals with 7 ps resolution/timestamp, at a speed of 50 ns between samples in each channel.

Gap-free, zero-dead-time counting provides back-to-back measurements without losing any cycle, even for very long measurements. The CNT-104S is also a high-performance Modulation Domain Analyser (MDA). Thanks to the high speed of up to 20M meas./s for 4 parallel signals, very fast frequency or phase/time changes can be captured in real-time. CNT-104S has a unique 4-channel design, plus an optional RF input. All channels perform parallel, independent, and gap-free time-stamping of the input signal. This allows for new measurements that earlier required many instruments, like phase comparison of 4 atomic clocks, without the need for a switch. And Multi-stop Time-Interval measurements (1 start and 3 stop events) for time-of-flight measurements in physical research.

Save money in production test

The 4-channel design enables 4 parallel frequency measurements. One CNT-104S can replace 4 existing frequency counters in a test system at a lower cost/counter.

Using the optional rackmount adapter, you will have 8 parallel frequency counters in a 19”, 2U high rack space.  You can choose between Ethernet, WLAN*, or USB** as a communication interface to a PC/Laptop/Tablet, or to the test system controller. High bus speed reduces test time in ATE test systems. Perform fast block measurements up to 170k meas/s. Test time is reduced compared to existing solutions, and time is money.
