This hardware class is used to control the FC 021 hardware module. The SDIAS counter input module FC 021 has 6 digital inputs (2x RS422, 2x TTL and 2x HTL) resp. 2 counter inputs or an incremental encoder input, which can be switched to RS422, TTL or HTL. More information on the hardware can be found in the module documentation.
FC 021 S-DIAS COUNTER INPUT MODULE Impuls Output Pulse suppression resolution of input 1 and input 2 in 10 ns. (=LSB) Oppression The minimum possible value is 10 (=100 ns). Resolution The maximum possible value is 65535. To set values other than the default value of 800 (8 µs), an FPGA version 1.2 or higher is required.
S-DIAS COUNTER INPUT MODULE FC 021 13.3 Frequency Inputs [1-2] Channel Input Output Defines the mode for the inputs. Mode RS422 This output can only be used if "Seperate Channel Input Mode" is initialized with 1. Channel Input Input In counter mode (see channel mode): Displays the counter value as 32 bit value in 10*ns steps.
