Before entering the setup dialog, ensure that you selected the correct analog
current option for your expander on the Instrument Setup tab in the
Tools/Configuration dialog. For scaling output parameters, see
"Programming Analog Outputs" above.
Analog expander outputs are not operational until you globally enable the analog
expander option in your meter through the Device Options menu.

Using Counters

The meter provides four six-digit counters that count different events.
To configure the device counters, select General Setup from the Meter Setup
menu, and then click on the Pulse/Event Counters tab.
Each counter is independently linked to any digital input and count input
pulses with a programmable scale factor. Each counter can also be
incremented in response to any internal or external event, checked and
cleared through the Control Setpoints.
The following table lists available options.
