Counters & Timers
13.1 Introduction
The IC/6 has twenty counters and twenty timers. These counters and timers enable
you to customize logic statements. Timers and counters are "up/increasing" value
variables. You can increment a counter or start a timer on any event via a logic
statement. These counters and timers can then be checked via other logic
statements to initiate one or more actions at a given count or when an elapsed
amount of time has passed. On the counter/timer screen, see
Figure 13-1 , you can
monitor all the counters and timers and by positioning the cursor on the counter or
timer number, manually zero a timer/counter (F1) or start timer (F2) or cancel a
timer (F3) using the function keys.
