Direction Sensor Mode
Use this mode to measure shaft direction. In this mode, the
CFM module calculates:
•
rate of input (0-100,000Hz)
•
acceleration value
•
direction of shaft

Frequency Sampling
In this mode, frequency samples are taken every revolution by
measuring A and B:
A = the time between F0 input channel pulses (determines shaft frequency)
B = the time between F0 and F1 input channel pulses (determines shaft direction)
