Incremental Mode
The incremental mode allows the file to be operated upon one word per
rung transition. Each time the rung containing the instruction goes from
false to true, the instruction operates on the word pointed to by the counter
accumulated value, and then increments to the next word. The operation of
a file instruction in the incremental mode is shown in Figure 12.9. In this
mode, the rate per scan is set equal to zero.

Instruction operates on one word per falsetotrue
transition of the rung condition (enable).
The counter resets to position 001 after the last word
is operated upon.

NOTE: The differences between the incremental mode (r=0) and the
distributed complete mode when r=1 can be compared. In both cases, the
operation defined by the file instruction is performed as the file counter
sequentially points to each word in the file. The rung must go from false
to true in order to initiate the operation. In the distributed complete mode
when r = 1, the entire file operation requires a single false-true transition.
It goes to completion automatically, one word per scan over the number of
