Connecting Signals for Measure Counter Operations
The DT9857 and DT9857E modules provide two measure counters (C/T 1 and 2) that you can
use to measure the frequency, period, or pulse width of a single signal or the time period
between two signals and return the value in the analog input stream.
Using software, you must define a signal to start the continuous edge-to-edge measurement
operation and a signal to stop the continuous edge-to-edge measurement operation. A variety
of signals are supported. How you wire the signals depends on the signals that you want to
use.
lists the possible start and stop signals and the connections that are required for
each signal type.
