"16" to "31" are the global counters.
• The current value is the value to be
• The counter current value change
If the starting value is larger than the end
one, it works as a subtraction counter.
The step value indicates a value to
increase or decrease per one counting-
up or counting-down.
It is the timing to update the current
value of the counter.
