SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL
This is a Safety Class I instrument. This instrument has been designed and tested according to I EC
Publication 348, "Safety Requirements for Electronic Measuring Apparatus" .
This manual contains information, cautions, and warnings which must be followed by the service
person to ensure safe operation and to retain the instrument in safe condition .
WARNINGS
SAFETY
If this instrument is to be energized via an autotransformer for voltage reduction, make sure the
common terminal is connected to the earthed pole of the power source.
BEFORE SWITCHING ON THIS INSTRUMENT, the protective earth terminals of this instrument
must be connected to the protective conductor of the (mains) power cord. The mains plug shall
only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact . The protective action
must not be negated by the use of an extension cord (power cable) without a protective
conductor (grounding) .
Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type (normal blow,
time delay, etc .) are used for replacement . The use of repaired fuses and the short-circuiting of
fuse holders must be avoided .
Whenever it is likely that the protection offered by fuses has been impaired, the instrument must
be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation .
GROUNDING
Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor (inside or outside the instrument) or
disconnecting the protective earth terminal is likely to make this instrument dangerous .
Intentional interruption is prohibited .
HIGH VOLTAGE
Warning - These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only . To avoid
dangerous electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the
operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so .

1-4. DESCRIPTION
1-5. The standard 5328A mainframe measures frequency, period, period average, time interval,
time interval average, and ratio. A totalize function is also provided . The capabilities of the
instrument are expanded (as shown in Table 1-3) by installing the options described in paragraph
1-17. The 5328A provides an 8-digit (9 with Option 030) LED display, display storage, and leading
zero blanking . Decimal point and unit readouts are displayed automatically . Two independent
selectable input channels are provided for time interval measurements. Each input channel has
an attenuator, trigger slope selector, level control, ac-dc-coupli?ig, and an oscilloscope marker
output. Rear panel connectors provide a gate output, a time base output and an input for an
external frequency standard . An ARM switch on the rear panel allows arming by thesignal being
measured (switch OFF) or by another input signal (switch ON) .
1-6. INSTRUMENT IDENTIFICATION
1-7. Hewlett-Packard instruments have a 2-section, 10-character serial number (OOOOA00000),
which is located on the rear panel. The 4-digit serial prefix identifies instrument changes . If the
serial prefix of your instrument differs from that listed on the title page of this manual, there are
differences between this manual and your instrument . Instruments having higher serial prefixes
are covered with a "Manual Changes" sheet included with this manual . If the change sheet is
missing, contact the nearest Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service Office listed at the back of this
manual .

General Information
1-8. APPLICATIONS
1-9 . Specific applications information is provided in Section IV of the 5328A Users Manual . The
general application features of the 5328A are described in the following paragraphs .
1-10. The high sensitivity, frequency range, and signal conditioning controls (see Table 1-3)
make the 5328A ideally suited for a wide range of applications . The direct count feature of the
5328A means that prescaling techniques are not used to achieve the 100 MHz frequency range (up
to 512 MHz with Option 030). Direct count speed is required in high-speed totalizing or system
applications . The dynamic range, input attenuators and trigger level range (seeTable 1-3) permit
measurements to be made on virtually any signal .
1-11 . The controlled "arming" feature of the 5328A is useful in applications such as burst fre-
quency measurements, and pulse amplitude measurements .
1-12. The optional integrating digital voltmeters measure trigger levels (critical in most time
interval measurements) and external voltages . The hysteresis compensation feature of Option 040
means that the trigger level does not need resetting when the slope switch changes the polarity.
1-13 . The standard 5328A single-shot resolution of 100 ns meets the requirements for appli-
cations such as mechanical and electromechanical device (relays) timing, time of flight measure-
ments (ballistics), sonar ranging, radio ranging and navigation . The Option 040 provides
increased resolution (to 10 ns) useful in applications such as computer/peripheral timing mea-
surements, logic timing measurements, radar ranging and optical ranging . The delay feature of
Option 040 allows unwanted signals to be ignored which would otherwise trigger the counter .
1-14 . Using time interval averaging, time intervals as short as 100 ps, with resolution to 10 ps may
be measured . Applications include cable length measurements, phase measurements, logic
timing measurements, and integrated circuit propagation delay measurement .
1-15 . Full bandwidth, sensitivity, and signal conditioning of the Channel A, B (and C for Option
030) input amplifiers is provided for ratio, totalizing, and scaling measurements .
1-16 . The 5328A with Option 011 HPAB Interface is able to output measurement data and be
controlled (fully programmed) via the Hewlett-Packard Interface Bus (HPAB) . The 5328A is
interfaced to HP-I13 compatible instruments, calculators, or computers by simply interconnecting
with an HPAB cable.
1-17. OPTIONS
1-18. Several options are available with the 5328A, as listed below . If purchased as part of an
initial order, options are installed at the factory and the instrument is ready for operation when
