Counter Timing Signals

M Series devices feature the following counter timing signals.

Counter n Source

Counter n Gate

Counter n Aux

Counter n A

Counter n B

Counter n Z

Counter n Up_Down

Counter n HW Arm

Counter n Internal Output

Counter n TC

Frequency Output

In this section, n refers to either Counter 0 or 1. For example, Counter n
Source refers to two signals—Counter 0 Source (the source input to
Counter 0) and Counter 1 Source (the source input to Counter 1).

Counter n Source Signal

The selected edge of the Counter n Source signal increments and
decrements the counter value depending on the application the counter is
