The meter provides four six-digit counters that count different events.

To configure the device counters, select General Setup from the Meter Setup menu,
then click on the Pulse/Event Counters tab.

Each counter is independently linked to any digital input and count input pulses with a
programmable scale factor. Each counter can also be incremented in response to any
internal or external event, and checked and cleared through the Control Setpoints.

The following table lists available options.
