The HP 5370B is a Universal Time Interval Counter designed for easy, very accurate testing of components, radar and laser ranging, and nuclear systems, as well as having applications in digital communications, IC testing, and calibration. Its microprocessor-based design adds features such as statistics that let the user characterize jitter. Postitive or negative time interval measurements, useful for differential measurements, and display of trigger levels are also among the features found on the HP 5370B. In addition to having a measurement scheme which resolves singleshot time interval measurements to +1- 20ps, this counter specs a full 4V pp dynamic range with -2 volts to +2 volts trigger level range. Other standard features found on the instrument include automatic computation of statistical data on pulse trains and easy operation, and the instrument will also measure waveform period and frequency to 100 MHz with up to 11 digits in 1 second of measurement time. All major front panel controls including trigger levels are programmable by means of the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HP-IB), which is another standard feature of this instrument. The 5370B has a frequency and period range up to 100 MHz.
