The R2043K/T is configured to generate 32.768-kHz clock pulses for output from the 32KOUT pin.
A frequency counter with 6 (more preferably 7) or more digits on the order of 1ppm is recommended
for use in the measurement of the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit.

Adjustment of Oscillation frequency
The oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit can be adjusted by varying procedures depending on the usage
of Model R2043K/T in the system into which they are to be built and on the allowable degree of time count errors.
The flow chart below serves as a guide to selecting an optimum oscillation frequency adjustment procedure for
the relevant system.

Generally, crystal oscillators for commercial use are classified in terms of their center frequency
depending on their load capacitance (CL) and further divided into ranks on the order of
±
10,
±
20, and
±
50ppm depending on the degree of their oscillation frequency variations.

Time count precision as referred to in the above flow chart is applicable to normal temperature and
actually affected by the temperature characteristics and other properties of crystal oscillators.
