Reset Cycle Count
Reset Cycle Count Activity Overview
Important:
The Reset Cycle Count activity is not associated with the Cycle Counter available in the Test-Run
Display Toolbox panel. The Cycle Counter test-run display uses a predefined cycle count variable
in conjunction with a Cycle + DAQ activity or Custom Waveform + DAQ activity.

The Reset Cycle Count activity resets the cycle counter for the selected channel to zero while the test is
in progress. The activity resets the cycle count, also referred to as a segment count, of the controller. The
value of the controller segment counter is available through signal resources such as Axial Count or Axial
Integer Count.
The Cycle + DAQ and Custom Waveform + DAQ activities use the segment generator's segment count
to divide up the data into cycles. Therefore, resetting this cycle count affects how the acquired cyclic data
is displayed and stored. The data acquisition cycle decimation filters work relative to the cycle numbers.
For example, a test can do some preliminary warm-up cycles, zero the cycle counter, and then do the rest
of the test (including cycle decimation filters). The acquired data appears to start from cycle zero.
