CNT32-4MT(LPCI)

About Software for Windows

The bundled CD-ROM “Driver library API-PAC(W32)” contains the functions that provide the
following features:

Function to read the current count value of a specified channel

Function to read the current status register for a specified channel

Function to prevent chattering based on a digital filter using hardware capabilities

Function to preset or zero-clear the counter at the rising or falling edge of the control input signal

Function to output a one-shot pulse to the control output signal upon detection of a count match or
error

Function to sample count values using bus mastering in sync with the specified external clock or
internal clock

For details, refer to the help file. The help file provides various items of information such as “Function
Reference”, “Sample Programs”, and “FAQs”. Use them for program development and troubleshooting.
