Period and pulse-width measurements are similar in function. The period measurement measures the time between two consecutive low to high transitions, while the pulse-width measurement measures the time that the signal is high.

We will use the same configuration with two buttons for this measurement. The hardware connection is simple - we only connect one switch to the AUX-CNT0, and the same one for the monitor to the DI_0 line.

Then on the Channel setup screen we should select one counter and go in the "channel setup" for that counter.

Period and pulse-width setup

We can also use the period and pulse-width measurement combined to do duty cycle measurement.
