This paper mainly introduces the requirements for the general counter in the verification regulation of general counters, and gives a brief explanation of the new and revised items in the new verification regulations. The general counter devices mentioned in this article are all based on SYN5636 standard reference.
The latest version of the general counter verification regulation is JJG 349-2014, which replaced the previous version of JJG 349-2001. The new regulations were formulated and implemented. Compared with the old version, the standard requirements of metrological performance were improved relatively. The lower limit of the cycle measurement and the upper limit of the frequency measurement were increased, and the verification method was revised, refined and supplemented.
The introduction of the new verification regulation for general counters has listed in detail the main technical changes in addition to editorial revision of new rules, including the improvement of the upper limit of frequency measurement, the lower limit of the measurement period and the time interval, the introduction of new terms, the content of terminology, the concept of effective resolution, the modification of the measurement performance requirements, and the refinement of the verification conditions. And verification methods, modification, supplement of periodic measurement error verification method, single channel pulse width verification method in supplementary time interval measurement error, new page format of verification certificate / verification result notice, verification page format of verification result, verification result notice format, verification of original record data page format.
The introduction of the general counter increases the effective resolution. The concept given is that effective resolution means the stable and accurate minimum number represented by the instrument. At the same time, the measurement frequency range is adjusted from the previous 1GHz to the verification of the general counter below 18GHz, which improves the upper limit of frequency measurement.
In the new verification regulation of general counters, the requirements of different frequency, cycle range and sensitivity are given out in the metrological performance requirements, as shown in the following figure:

The old version is more detailed and intuitive than the general counter verification regulation. At the same time, in addition to the requirements of the old version's startup characteristics and daily frequency fluctuations, the new regulation layer also increases the item number of the daily aging rate, and improves the measurement performance requirements in addition to the requirements of the five projects.
The new verification regulation of general counters is different in the range of equipment and equipment required for verification, mainly reflected in the measurement range, accuracy and other requirements, and the technical indicators in the new regulations are higher and the description is more detailed.
In the general purpose counter verification project, the new regulation has become more intuitive besides the name of the project, and the verification process and requirements have been more detailed. The measurement points have been increased, the calculation formula has been revised, and the instrument connection methods are mainly embodied in the frequency measurement range, the input sensitivity and the measurement error verification.
The establishment of the new verification regulation for general counters improves the verification performance of universal counters, and also sets the performance of general counters. The SYN5636 type high precision general counter is a device that fully meets the JJG 349-2014 verification regulation. For its specific verification and equipment selection and implementation, we can refer to the latest revision of the general counter verification scheme in our company's official website.
