duration as programmed with the Gate Time parameter, processes
the result, displays the reading and continues with the same
process as long as the signal is available at the input.

input. When signal is sensed, the gate to the counter opens for
duration as programmed with the Gate Time parameter processes
the result, displays and holds the reading until the next Reset/Arm

Time LED and modify the gate time per your requirements. Gate
