COUNT = 103
Here is an example of how to use the above counter circuit:
1.
Initiate Counter mode by triggering I5 and I6 at the same time for at least 5 seconds. This clears ALL
messages from the signs networked to the Input Module and creates an “A” message file for use as a
counter. This also stores a counter value of Ø in the CPU Module.
2.
Wait 1 minute before proceeding.
3.
(Optional) Use a handheld remote control to edit the “A” message file. For example, if you wanted the text
“COUNT =” to appear before the counter value (as shown above), use a remote control to add this text:. (A
two-line sign is used as an example below.)
4.
To increase the count, trigger IØ, and
COUNT = 1
,
COUNT = 2
, etc will appear on the sign.
5.
To reset the count to Ø, trigger I6.
