calibrated in terms of frequency (Hz

(p. 458)

) so are usually measured using the

PulseCount() frequency option.

• Accuracy of PulseCount() is limited by a small scan-interval error of ±(3

ppm of scan interval + 10 µs), plus the measurement resolution error of ±1 /
(scan interval). The sum is essentially ±1 / (scan interval).

• Use the LLAC4

(p. 562)

module to convert non-TTL level signals, including

low-level ac signals, to TTL levels for input into digital I/O channels C1
C8.

• When digital I/O channels C1C8 measure switch-closure inputs, pull-up

resistors may be required. Figure Connecting Switch Closures to Digital I/O

(p. 323)

show how pull-up resistors can be incorporated into a wiring scheme.

• As shown in figure Connecting Switch Closures to Digital I/O

(p. 323),

digital

I/O inputs, with regard to the 6.2-V Zener diode, have an input resistance of
100 kΩ with input voltages < 6.2 Vdc. For input voltages ≥ 6.2 Vdc, the
inputs have an input resistance of only 220 Ω.
