The General Radio 1142-A Frequency Meter and Discriminator was introduced in Catalog Q (1961) and remained available through Catalog T (1968).
The 1142-A is an analog, direct-reading frequency meter with the addition of an interpolation feature. With the interpolation control set to Direct, the frequency can be read directly from the panel meter with ±1% accuracy. To obtain better resolution and accuracy, engage the interpolation setting (see manual). The 1142-A has three outputs for connecting chart recorders (Direct, Interpolation, and FM).
Specifications
- Frequency: 3 Hz to 1.5 MHz in 5 decade ranges
