Use these diagrams to understand how you use Sampling
Termination and Bandwidth Limit to exert even more control over
the CFM module’s frequency sampling.
The CFM module calculates
frequency on the next pulse
to occur after time expires.

➀
➀
The module calculates a new frequency on the next pulse to occur after the
expiration of the specified time; therefore, the actual period will be longer than
specified in word 6. Upon calculation of the frequency
, the outputs are updated.

N
The CFM module can distinguish frequencies as low as 1Hz.
At low frequencies (< Minimum Frequency Sampling Time),
the CFM module may take as long as 2s to calculate a new
frequency value.
The minimum frequency the CFM module can detect
is 1/Minimum Frequency Calculation Time.
When set, the CFM module will spend no more than
(2 x Minimum Frequency Sampling Time) to
determine a new frequency value.

➀
The terminate conditions assume a start pulse has been received.
➁
The next sample begins at the first pulse that occurs after a valid sample is taken.
