TimerCounter Tool

The TimerCounter Tool is a general tool for controlling counter/timer-devices. A counter/timer-device can be used for many things, such as:

  • Counting events
  • Frequency generation
  • Pulse generation
  • Frequency counter
  • and many more
The TimerCounter Tool can be used with many different devices from different vendors. A small plugin must be created for each type of device or for each family of devices.

The TimerCounter Tool is still quite new so the interface and functionality is still limited to the most common functions. Every specific functionality is a mode in the tool. The modes of the tool are:

  • Up-counter (increments on each event)
  • Down-counter (decrements on each event)
  • Frequency divider/generator (output toggles for each n pulses)
  • Duty-cycle generator (generates same frequency but can adjust high and low pulse)
  • Pulse generator(generates a pulse on each external event)
  • Frequency counter (counts the number of pulses in a known period of time)
  • Pulse width measurement (counts the number of time-ticks as long as the input is active)
New modes can be added if needed.
