Event counting is one of the simplest counter operations.
Required hardware |
Orion, NI (cards with counters), NI-MX, DAP, Data translation |
Required software |
Any version |
Setup sample rate |
At least 1 kHz |
There are two special modes of event counting available:
| 1. | gated event counting, where events are counted only when a gate signal is high (only available on Orion counters) |
| 2. | up/down counting, where the events are counted up when the gate is high and down when the gate is low (available on Orion, NI MX, NI E series and DT cards). |
The following simple test configuration was made with two push buttons, connected to the Orion expansion counters.
