6.2 Timer/Counter Function
The timer / counter function is used together with the trigger function and program simulation function to measure
the elapsed time from a specific condition and the number of occurrences of a specific factor.
Timers 0 and 1 are used to measure the time elapsed after a specific factor occurs.
Counters 0 and 1 are used to count the number of times a specific factor occurs.
Counters 2 and 3 are dedicated counters which count the number of transmitted and received data from the start to
the end of measurement (maximum 4294967295).
Setting
Display the top menu screen by [MENU] and select “Trigger
”. Tap “Timer/Counter settings” at the bottom right
of the trigger screen to display the setting screen.
Set the comparison value (1 to 999999) of each timer / coun-
ter used for the trigger factor and the resolution (100msec,
10msec, 1msec) of each timer.
Timer action
1) Cleared to 0 at the start of measurement. and the status changes to stop.
2) It starts, stops, or restarts (start after cleared to 0) according to the control information by the trigger function
3) When the set value (comparison value) of timer 0, 1 and the current value of timer 0, 1 match, the informa-
tion is passed to the trigger function.
4) If the current value overflows, it continues counting from 0.
5) When you stop the measurement, the timer also stops at the point.
Counter action
ڦ
General purpose counter 0,1.
1) Cleared to 0 at the start of measurement.
2) It is incremented (+1) or cleared by the control information from the trigger function.
3) When the set value (comparison value) of counters 0 and 1 and the current value of counters 0 and 1
match, that information is passed to the trigger function.
4) If the current value overflows, it continues counting from 0.
ڦ
TXD and RXD send/receive data number counter.
1) Cleared to 0 at the start of measurement.
2) It is incremented by 1 each time the data from the TXD on the transmitting side or RXD on the receiving
side is received. (The maximum value is 4294967295)
