Multifunction LCD Digital Counter Operation (Dual Counter) ■ Using the dual counter allows the count from 2 inputs to be added or subtracted and the result displayed. It is possible to specify a set value for which output turns ON when the set value matches the added or subtracted result.
Multifunction LCD Digital Counter Tachometer Function Power ON For details on operation in run mode, refer to page 22. Note: 1. If the mode is switched to the tachometer function setting mode during operation, operation will continue. 2. Changes made to settings in function setting mode are enabled for the first time when the mode is changed to run mode.
