The counter function of the DISplus measurement system allows the user to measure time based signals. The measurements are:

• Pulse duration
• Pulse duty factor

The desired measurement is set-up from the screen by selecting from the following:

• Measurement function
• Test cable
• Measurement range
• Trigger level (default is set at 5 Volts)
• Trigger slope (determines which portion of the signal will be used as the trigger point)
