A7-MX

The A7-MX is the substantially enhanced successor to Quartzlock’s industry-leading A7 line. The A7-MX can save 40% of oscillator research, development and production test time. 

This exciting new analyser includes major additional facilities: relative and absolute counting of the input frequency over a broadband of input frequencies with comprehensive input conditioning.

Innovative averaging, dithering & scrambling noise reduction techniques are used in the stroboscopic phase meter, phase comparator & time interval counter. Temperature stabilisation of the comparator & error multiplier enable close to zero thermal impedance between components.  Averaging also reduces passive component noise.

Scrambling reduces noise to 3 x 10-13/s in the stroboscopic phase meter. The new virtual front panel enables selection of averaging, (which auto selects scrambling) at gate times of >50ms.

Averaging & scrambling optimisation with gate time gives the best estimate of phase measurement available & improves further with longer gate times.
