Connecting Counter/Timer Signals

The DT3034 board with the DT740 screw terminal panel provides counter/timers that you can
use for the following operations:
• Event counting
• Frequency measurement
• Pulse output (rate generation, one-shot, and repetitive one-shot)
This section describes how to connect counter/timer signals to perform these operations.
