3 The effect of value 3 depends on the selected counter mode:
If
AT^SCCNT
, parameter
<mode>
= 0 (Start-Stop counter mode), then
<action>
type 3 stops the pulse counter and displays, as "
^SSCNT
" URC, the
number of pulses counted until this time.
If
AT^SCCNT
, parameter
<mode>
= 1 (Limit counter mode), then
<action>
type 3 immediately stops the pulse counter without indicating the "
^SCCNT
"
URC. This action has the same effect as the command
AT^SCCNT
=0,0.
Measurement result of the pulse counter in Start-Stop mode, indicated within the "
^SSCNT
" URC, if
AT^SCCNT
,
parameter
<action>
=2 or 3. The value range of
<pulse>
is 32 bits (2 32 -1).
0...4294967295 Number of pulses counted.
Note
• Measurement accuracy: In Start-Stop mode, you can achieve 100% accuracy if you take care that pulse trans-
mission begins after the start command (
AT^SSCNT
=0 or 1) has returned OK and ends before the stop com-
mand (
AT^SSCNT
=3) is issued.
