Parameter
Description
Hardware Input Ties
Assigns counter control functions for individual counters to hardware inputs. Configure the setting for each counter by choosing from the available parameters.
  • A single input can control functionality for multiple counters. For example, input 3 can be tied to the Up/Down Count function for all 8 counters.
  • Only one type of counter control function can be assigned to a single input. For example, both the Count Enable and Reset Count functions cannot be assigned to the same input.
Up/Down
Causes a counter to increment or decrement accumulated count or changes the direction bit for frequency values.
  • Tie to Input
    . Choose the hardware input to control the up and down counting or frequency direction for the corresponding counter.
  • Invert
    . Select the checkbox to invert the hardware input so that the corresponding counter counts up when the input is high and counts down when the input is low.
Count Enable
Acts as a gate input that controls when counting starts and stops.
  • Tie to Input
    . Choose the hardware input to control when counting starts and stops for the corresponding counter.
  • Invert
    . Select the checkbox to invert the hardware input so that the corresponding counter starts counting only when the input is low and stops counting when the input is high.
Reset Count
Resets the count to zero.
  • Tie to Input
    . Choose the hardware input to control when the count is reset to zero for the corresponding counter.
  • Invert
    . Select the checkbox to invert the hardware input so that the corresponding counter resets the count to zero only when the input transitions low.
Preset Count
Determines the starting value for a count. Each counter can have one preset value.
  • Tie to Input
    . Choose the hardware input to control when the count is preset to the value defined.
  • Invert
    . Select the checkbox to invert the hardware input so that the corresponding counter presets the value only when the input transitions low.
