Click Counter & Timer on the left pane of the application to access the counter/timer page of the web server:
The counter/timer channel on the DT7837 supports the following modes:
Idle - In this mode, the counter does not drive the clock output signal that is assigned to one of the general-purpose output signals (pins 11 to 18) of the Digital connector.
Clock divider - Use this mode (also called rate generation mode) to generate a continuous pulse output signal from the counter’s output signal. You can use this pulse output signal as an external clock to pace other operations, such as an analog input or other counter/timer operations.
The pulse output operation is enabled whenever the counter’s gate signal is at the specified level. While the pulse output operation is enabled, the counter outputs a pulse of the specified type and frequency continuously. As soon as the operation is disabled, rate generation stops.
Counter - Use this mode (also called event counting mode) if you want to count the number of rising edges that occur on the counter’s clock input when the counter’s gate signal is active (low-level or high-level).
You can count a maximum of 4,294,967,296 events before the counter rolls over to 0 and starts counting again.
One-shot - Use this mode (also called non-retriggerable one-shot mode) to generate a single output pulse from the counter whenever the specified edge is detected on the counter’s gate signal (after the pulse period from the previous output pulse expires). Any gate signals that occur while the pulse is being output are not detected by the module. The module continues to output a pulse when the specified gate edge is detected until you stop the operation.
