The Rate Counters
The Major Counters • The Percent Counters
• The Flash Rate Counters • The Stroke
Rate Change Counter
The counters in the Rates window convey a wealth of
information, though some are considered to be more
important than others. The most important counters are on
the left side of the window and are: the stroke or flash rate
counter, the strong stroke rate counter, the energy ratio
counter, and the noise rate counter.
A counter panel consists of the following parts:
• The counter (the digits displayed)
• The background
• The caption (in the lower-left corner of the panel)
• The alert bar (optional)
The properties of any of the counter’s parts may be changed
by right-clicking on the item you wish to change.
Most of the counters in the Rates window can have record
values. A new record is indicated by the counter taking on an
“inverted” look – the colors for the counter text and the
background are reversed.
