Description
Note
Counter start
trigger
Software command
(for all/each of channels)
Possible to start the counter for all or
each of the channels.
Rise of control input
signal
The counter is started at a level
change (low-to-high transition).
Available only when the control
input signal has been selected for
counter start/stop.
Fall of control input
signal
The counter is started at a level
change (high-to-low transition).
Available only when the control
input signal has been selected for
counter start/stop.
Sampling start
Sampling start = counter start
Counter stop
trigger
Software command
(for all/each of channels)
Possible to start the counter for all or
each of the channels.
Rise of control input
signal
The counter is ended at a level change
(low-to-high transition).
Available only when the control
input signal has been selected for
counter start/stop.
FAll of control input
signal
The counter is ended at a level change
(high-to-low transition).
Available only when the control
input signal has been selected for
counter start/stop.
Sampling stop
Sampling start = counter start
Software
The counter is started or stopped by software either for each channel or for all channels.
Rise/fall of an external input signal
The counter is started or stopped by an external input signal supplied through the control input pin. The
rising or falling edge of the signal can be selected for starting or stopping the counter. If the
“low-to-high” transition is set for both starting and stopping the counter, the counter is started or
stopped if it is inactive or active, respectively, when the level changes from low to high.
*
When the control input pin is used for the counter start/stop signal, it cannot be used for the preset,
zero-clear, or general-purpose input.
Sampling start/stop
When the counter start trigger is used for starting sampling, this product starts counting and sampling
synchronously. When the counter stop trigger is used for stopping sampling, this product stops counting
and sampling synchronously in the same way.
