Tektronix has introduced the FCA3000 and FCA3100 Series of timer/counter/analysers and the MCA3000 Series of microwave counter/analysers. The instruments integrate with other Tektronix bench instruments, such as oscilloscopes and arbitrary/function generators. Instruments such as the FCA and MCA Series are used for measurement and analysis of frequency, time or phase signal parameters in design, production, calibration labs or in field applications such as radar equipment monitoring and test. The new instruments allow design engineers to make over 13 different frequency, period, time, pulse, or phase measurements with high resolution. Comprehensive analysis modes include measurement statistics, histograms, and trend plots. Dedicated buttons and on-display menus provide fast access to frequently used functions, reducing set up time. USB and GPIB device ports support remote control and fast measurement transfer speeds. For manufacturing applications that require fast test times, the instruments provide 250,000s/s data transfer rate to internal memory, up to 15,000s/s data transfer rate over USB/GPIB (block mode), and up to 650 individually triggered measurements per second. The FCA3000 and FCA3100 Series offer a wide frequency range up to 20GHz. This includes two standard inputs at 300MHz, and the option of a third channel input in either 3 or 20GHz models. These instruments deliver 12-digit/sec frequency resolution and single-shot resolution of 50ps (FCA3100) or 100ps (FCA3000) for time. The MCA3000 Series comes standard with two 300MHz input channels, and the choice of a 27GHz or 40GHz high frequency input channel - two instruments in one with all the same functionality as the FCA3000 series.
