Using the Pulse Input with echo output

 
Onboard the Cumulus Pulse logger are 2 pulse inputs. These pulse inputs will echo the pulses onto an output to allow for 
multiple devices to be connected to the same pulse source. Pulse inputs are used by metering type devices (eg
energy meter) to measure consumption.
