Frequency Measurement

Solutions

BMC measuring systems with integrated counter feature are most suitable for frequency measurement, for example the digital-I/O measuring system USB-IO16 or the network measuring system LAN-AD16fx.

The best options for incremental encoders are our measurement systems with integrated counter function, like the digital I/O measurement system USB-OI16.

In Detail

To give your application a complete measurement system you will need several components. Below we offer a perfect solution from our modular product range, preconfigurated and optimized in price and value.
Of course all components can be adjusted to your individual needs. Our team is more than happy to help any time via phone or mail.

Frequency measurement quite often has to cover wide ranges. That's why in mechanical measuring technology frequencies in the range of 0,001Hz ... 1MHz are standard. The change of frequency is usually not a very dynamic value.

The signals can be connected directly to the digital inputs of measurement systems as long as they have TTL- or CMOS-gauges. If other voltage ranges have to be connected, the signal needs to be adjusted. Please note here that the slopes of the impulses are not being slurred.
