How do I determine Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) frequency resolution?

I want to know if the resolution of a DAQ for PWM is affected by both the bit width of the counter and the base frequency of the PC board.

The resolution depends on both the counter bit width and the counter base frequency.
Resolution Frequency * 2^ B = Counter Base Frequency
where B is the number of bits.
For example, the Real Time Device (RTD) DM6804 uses an AMD9513 which has 16 bit counters and runs at a maximum frequency of 5 MHz. The full count is 2^16 = 65535 with maximum resolution when the full count is used. The resolution is 1/65535 = .0015%, and its associated frequency is 5 MHz / 65535 = 76.29 Hz.
