This section details the operation of the Pulse Counter application that comes with the USBee DX. The Pulse Counter is used to count the number of cycles or edges that are detected on up to 16 of the digital lines.
Below you see the application screen.
To start counting the pulses or edges on the signals press the Start Puls Counting button. The pulses are counted and the current range of pulses is displayed. In this case the system is counting all pulses down to 166.7nsec wide.
You can use any of the 15 lines as a gate to enable the counting during specified times. For example, you can count pulses only when Signal 0 is high by setting the Signal 0 Gate to High. Pulses that occur when Signal 0 is low are not counted
