Hardware Reset – Option to use value received on the Hardware Reset
input (Input 2 for Channel 1, Input 3 for Channel 2) to determine when
the channel resets the counter to 0.
o If Disabled (default), then the Hardware Reset input can be
used as a generic DC input and will not have any effect on the
channel.

controls the corresponding channel’s behavior: a value of ON
resets the counter to 0, while a value of OFF resumes counting
as normal.

pop-up menu. Each tag can be used only once.
