Direction Sensor Mode

Use this mode to measure shaft direction. In this mode, the
CFM module calculates:

rate of input (0-100,000Hz)

acceleration value

direction of shaft

Frequency Sampling

In this mode, frequency samples are taken every revolution by
measuring A and B:

A = the time between F0 input channel pulses (determines shaft frequency)

B = the time between F0 and F1 input channel pulses (determines shaft direction)
