Event-Counting Application with External Switch Gating
 
Perform pulse-width measurement by level gating to trigger the 
counter. Apply the pulse to be measured to the counter GATE input. 
Load the counter with the known count and program it to count down 
while the signal at the GATE input is high. The pulse width equals the 
counter difference (loaded value minus read value) multiplied by the 
CLK period. 
For time-lapse measurement, program a counter to be edge-gated. 
Apply an edge to the counter GATE input to start the counter. You can 
program the counter to start counting after receiving a low-to-high 
edge. The time lapse since receiving the edge equals the counter value 
difference (loaded value minus read value) multiplied by the CLK 
period. 
For frequency measurement, program a counter to be level-gated and 
count the number of falling edges in a signal applied to a CLK input. 
The gate signal you apply to the counter GATE input is of known 
4.7 kW
