Description

The Multifunction Timer/Counter Model 54035A is designed to time and count events with high accuracy 

and high resolution. It features millisecond timing up to 1000 seconds and counting up to 1000 counts. It can 

take the place of Lafayette’s Stop Clock Model 54030 and Clock/Counter Model 54035 while improving on the 

functions of both. It can be set to acquire time and counts simultaneously on three separate channels or can 

record up to four split times on a single channel. Time and count data are displayed on a high-contrast back-

lit display. Data can also be transferred to a computer via a standard serial port interface. The Multifunction 

Timer/Counter Model 54035A provides a row of (12) terminal blocks for easy connection to external devices. An 

optional banana plug interface is also available for connection using standard banana plugs. All timing functions 

are activated by external switch closures with built in capability to interface to normally open or normally 

closed switches. Timing functions are also available via front panel controls so that any function previously 

performed with a Lafayette’s Stop Clock Model 54030 or Clock/Counter Model 54035 can be duplicated by the 

new Multifunction Timer/Counter Model 54035A.
