Control Outputs
Result
Type Default Value
float32 0.0
Description: This field reflects the final counter result.
Internal Parameters
Continu-
ous
Type Default Value
boolean FALSE
Description: The Continuous Mode flag determines the Counter
behavior when the Trigger is held TRUE. If this flag is TRUE, the
Counter continually steps through the counting sequence. When it
reaches the End Value, it returns to the Start Value and begins the
counting sequence again. If this flag is FALSE, the Counter does
only one pass through the counting sequence. It stops counting when
it reaches the End Value.
CountAll
Type Default Value
boolean False
Description: The Count All flag determines the Counter behavior
when the Trigger transitions from TRUE to FALSE. If this FLAG is
TRUE, the Counter continues counting until it reaches the End
Value when the Trigger goes FALSE. If this FLAG is FALSE, the
Counter immediately stops counting when the Trigger goes FALSE.
Internal Parameters
Function
Type Default Value
function handle f(x) = x
Description: The Function Service handle determines the final out-
put based on the current counter value. The function may be of any
of the types supported by the Function Service. The most commonly
used counter functions are the Table and the Comparator.
Modifier: Multiply
Modifier_default: 1.0
Function-
Gain
Type Default Value
boolean False
Description: The FunctionGain is the overall gain applied to the
Function output result.
RangeEnd
Type Default Value
float32 1.0
Description: This field specifies the ending value of the counter
sequence. When triggered, the counter will count from Start_Val to
End_Val.
Range-
Start
Type Default Value
float32 1.0
Description: This field specifies the starting value of the counter
sequence. When triggered, the counter will count from Start_Val to
End_Val.
