24-Bit Counting
A-8
Applications
The 16-bit prescale 24-bit counting mode cascades the output of one 16-bit
counter, in Divide-by-N mode, into the A input of the same channel's 24-bit
counter. The B input jumper is set for Up Count Only.
By using the repetitive nature of Divide-by-N mode, the output of the 16-bit
counter pulses the rollover signal, at every count of 1, into clock input A of
the 24-bit counter. The output of the 16-bit counter is not controlled by the
Force Output On bit (WY19.09, .10, .13, or .14).

Initial Output:
After programming, the 24-bit counter value is zero. On the first valid clock
pulse, the 16-bit counter is set to the preset value. The clock decrements the
count until the count value reaches 1. During the next clock pulse the
output turns On generating a carry into the 24-bit counter. The 16-bit
preset is loaded, and counting continues with each clock. The carry is
generated every preset number of clocks. Setting the 16-bit Reset flag
pauses the counting. Clearing the flag reloads the preset value after the
first valid clock.
