Loading a Count
Counter operations call internal counters.
When a counter is set, the word in ACCUM 1 is used as a count. You must therefore first store
counts in the accumulator.
You can load a count with any of the following data types
KC
constant count
or
DW
data word
IW
input word
QW
output word
FW
flag word.

The count is decremented by 1 on the leading edge of the RLO.
When the RLO is "0", the count is not affected.
