Hints
If it is necessary to turn off a device when the pulse counter is placed in HOLD, it is recommended that you
also tie the source of the input HOLD signal to a DO block. The DO block would then control the On/off
State of the device.

Rate Sample
Time
5
The output RATE is
calculated by
counting number of
pulses per Sample
Time and scaling it to
EU/Time Period.
Sample Time is a
rolling window of
time (updated each
scan cycle) used to
count pulses. The
longer the Sample
Time the smoother
the rate output and
the longer it will take
to change; the
smaller the Sample
Time the noisier the
rate output but the
quicker the
response.
Enter 0-60 seconds using
0.5 sec. intervals.
