Chapter 4 Configure the Module
Configure Counters 0…7
The configuration of counters 0…7 defines the following:
• The number of pulses over which to calculate average frequency
• The frequency time-out value
• Whether the On/Off windows use accumulated count, instantaneous
frequency, or average frequency for output control
• Window On/Off, preset, and rollover values
• Whether to enable filtering for a counter
You can configure most of the above values on the Counter Configuration tab of
the Module Properties dialog box. However, window On/Off, rollover, and
preset values must be defined in the module’s output tags.
For more information about the operation of counters, refer to Counters 0…7
on
page 11.
Follow these steps to configure counters.
1. On the Modules Properties dialog box, click the Counter Configuration
tab.
2. Click a numbered button to configure the corresponding counter.
