Counter n Internal Output and Counter n TC Signals
•
In this section,
n
refers to the cRIO controller Counter 0, 1, 2, or 3. For example, Counter
n
Source refers to four signals—Counter 0 Source (the source input to Counter 0), Counter 1
Source (the source input to Counter 1), Counter 2 Source (the source input to Counter 2), or
Counter 3 Source (the source input to Counter 3).
Note
Note All counter timing signals can be filtered. Refer to the
section for more information.
Counter n Source Signal
The selected edge of the Counter
n
Source signal increments and decrements the counter value
depending on the application the counter is performing. The following table lists how this
terminal is used in various applications.

Routing a Signal to Counter n Source
Each counter has independent input selectors for the Counter
n
Source signal. Any of the
following signals can be routed to the Counter n Source input:
•
80 MHz Timebase
•
20 MHz Timebase
•
13.1072 MHz Timebase
•
12.8 MHz Timebase
•
10 MHz Timebase
•
100 kHz Timebase
•
Any PFI terminal
•
Analog Comparison Event
•
Change Detection Event
In addition, TC or Gate from a counter can be routed to a different counter source.
