0 Activates the Start-Stop counter mode.
After setting this mode, use
AT^SSCNT
and the parameter to start
or stop the pulse counter or to read out the measured pulses.
1 Activates the Limit counter mode and immediately starts the pulse counter.
Parameter is mandatory for this mode.
1...65534 Number of pulses to be counted.
Parameter applies only to the Limit counter mode and is mandatory
for this mode. Once the given number of pulses is reached, the ME sends one
single URC "
^SCCNT
" which indicates the parameter .
1...4294967295 Time (in milliseconds) taken to count the number of pulses specified with
.
Note
• Measurement accuracy: In Limit counter mode, the parameter implies an inaccuracy <5ms.
20.8.1 Using the Pulse Counter in Limit Counter Mode
This example assumes that a 1 kHz frequency is applied at the GPIO10 pin. Limit counter mode is enabled to
request the time the pulse counter needs to count a specified number of pulses.
This example shows how to stop the Limit counter mode and close the pulse counter without waiting for the
"
^SCCNT
" URC. Both methods have the same effect, it is up to you which one to use.
