Counter – Ortec

The Basic Functions of Counting Systems

There are five general classes of counting systems: counters, timers, ratemeters, multichannel scalers and time digitizers, and digital signal averagers. ORTEC offers four of the five. Counters simply count the number of input pulses received during the counting period. Timers count pulses generated by an internal clock and are used to measure elapsed time or to establish the length of the counting period. Ratemeters provide a meter readout of the pulse count rate and convert this frequency to a DC voltage or current proportional to the average count rate per unit of time which is normally expressed in counts per second (counts/s).
