ABOUT 3665
The Model 3665 is a single-width CAMAC module that provides four
frequency measurement channels. This counter module can be used to monitor a variety
of pulse sources. Moreover, its unique circuitry allows the monitoring of a wide range of
frequency (0.059 Hz to 50,000 Hz) without changing any module settings. For example,
the RPM of an aircraft engine shaft can be monitored at full speed as well as when it
coasts to a stop. Differential input circuits are used to provide high noise immunity.
The input pulse stream for each channel is sampled during a user-selectable observation
window. This window period is programmable from one millisecond to 1.024 seconds,
and the selection is common to all channels. At the end of each window period, 24 bits
of data representing the time base count from the master clock as well as 24 bits
representing the number of whole periods observed, are stored in the current value table
(CVT) for that channel. If the period of the input pulse stream is longer than the
window period, the window remains "open" until one whole period of the input signal
is observed. If enabled, a LAM may be generated when any of the time base counters
overflow.
