Period measurement

Period measurement
In period measurement mode, the FM 350-1 indicates the dynamic measuring time as a
period. If the period is less than the update time, then an average is calculated for the period.
The value of the calculated period is displayed in units 1 μs or 1/16 μs. You can read the
measured period at the feedback interface (Bytes 0 to 3).

Update Time
The FM 350-1 updates the measured values cyclically. You specify the update time with the
"Update time" parameter. You can change the update time during operation.
