The two internal clock sources, CLOCK1 and CLOCK2 come from the 
clock system (see 'Clock System section'). 
The cascaded clock source
comes from the output of the counter with smaller channel number. For 
example, the COUT1 is cascaded to source of CLK2; the COUT3 is 
cascaded to source of CLK4. The exceptions are the cascaded source of 
CLK1 comes from COUT4 and the cascaded source of CLK7 comes from 
COUT10. 
The external clock source named as ECLK n comes from the 37-pins 
connector. Figure 2.13 demonstrates the clock source jumper setting 
counter channel 1 (CLK1) by jumper ‘ CK1 ’. In this figure, the clock source 
comes from the internal source CLOCK1.

Figure 2.13 Setting the Clock Source of Counter #1
The jumper setting is flexible for user applications. There are four kinds of 
configurations for every clock source jumper. 
(1) Use internal clock source CLOCK1.
