Product Information
Full details
The Aim-TTi TF930 is a portable, battery-operated universal counter designed for professionals needing precise frequency measurements up to 3GHz. Its key benefit is the wide frequency range and versatile measurement functions in a compact form factor. A potential caveat is the reliance on battery power, which requires monitoring for extended use. This instrument offers frequency, period, ratio, pulse width, and count measurements, all displayed on a large 0.5-inch 10-digit LCD, powered by a stable internal frequency reference.

FAQs
What is the maximum frequency the TF930 can measure?
The TF930 can measure frequencies from 0.001Hz up to 3GHz.
What types of measurements can the TF930 perform?
It can measure frequency, period, ratio, pulse width, and count.
Is the TF930 battery-powered?
Yes, the TF930 is a portable, battery-operated universal counter.
How stable is the internal frequency reference?
The instrument uses a temperature-compensated internal frequency reference stable to within 1ppm over the full temperature range.
What is the display type and size?
It features a large 0.5-inch, 10-digit liquid crystal display (LCD).
Can I connect any signal source to the TF930?
The TF930 is compatible with standard logic levels and RF signals within its 3GHz range. Always refer to the manual for specific input voltage and impedance requirements.
Troubleshooting
No reading on the display
Ensure the battery is charged and the unit is powered on. Verify the input signal is connected correctly and is within the frequency range. Check that the measurement function is set appropriately.
Inaccurate readings
Confirm the signal source is stable. Ensure the input signal amplitude is sufficient for detection. Verify the internal frequency reference is allowed to stabilize (allow a few minutes after power-on if temperature changes significantly).
Display is dim or not visible
Check the battery level; a low battery can affect display brightness. If the issue persists with a charged battery, contact support.
Unit powers off unexpectedly
The battery may be depleted. Recharge or replace the battery. If the problem continues with a fully charged battery, there may be an internal issue.
