COUNT
Pin, Period, Variable
Function
Count the number of cycles (0-1-0 or 1-0-1) on the specified pin during the
Period time frame and store that number in Variable.
•
Pin
is a variable/constant/expression (0 – 15) that specifies the I/O
pin to use. This pin will be set to input mode.
•
Period
is a variable/constant/expression (1 – 65535) specifying the
time during which to count. The unit of time for Period is described
in Table 5.3.
•
Variable
is a variable (usually a word) in which the count will be
stored.

Explanation
The COUNT instruction makes the Pin an input, then for the specified
period of time, counts cycles on that pin and stores the total in a variable.
A cycle is a change in state from 1 to 0 to 1, or from 0 to 1 to 0.
According to Table 5.3, COUNT on the BS2 can respond to transitions
(pulse widths) as small as 4.16 microseconds (µs). A cycle consists of two
transitions (e.g., 0 to 1, then 1 to 0), so COUNT (on the BS2) can respond to
square waves with periods as short as 8.32 µs; up to 120 kilohertz (kHz) in
frequency. For non-square waves (those whose high time and low time are
unequal), the shorter of the high and low times must be at least 4.16 µs in
width (on the BS2). Refer to Table 5.3 for data on other BASIC Stamps.
