between the reset events immediately after their calculation (with every
counter change).

ation

figurator or automatically set via a

application.
Info
If you activate
Persistence
in the
Additional settings tab
, each new
counter status will be stored and, for example, will continue counting
from there after a power outage. The choice for
Initial value
is then
set to
Application
. When loading a configuration file, too, the last
value stored is set as the initial value in this case.

"Additional settings tab" on page 48
