the counter value in Edge Separation Measurement mode is
shown.

Mode 10: PWM Output
The USB-1900 Series timer/counter can also simulate a PWM
(Pulse Width Modulation) output. By setting a varying amount
of Pulse_initial_cnt and Pulse_length_cnt, varying pulse fre-
quencies (Fpwm) and duty cycles (Dutypwm) can be obtained.
PWM output is shown.
Figure 3-20: Mode 10-PWM Output
Calculation of the PWM frequency and duty cycle is as follows.
