Jumper the
OSC
and
CLK0
pins together to connect an internal 10 MHz crystal oscillator signal to the
counter 0 input signal.
Jumper the
OUT0
and
CLK1
pins to connect the output of counter 0 to the input of counter 1.
Jumper the
OUT1
and
CLK2
pins to connect the output of counter 1 to the input of counter 2.
You can also connect the counters externally using the signals on the 37-pin connector. However, if you chain
the counters using the connector you must provide an external source for Counter 0.
Since each counter channel is 16-bits, chaining two counters together forms a 32-bit counter. Chaining all three
counters together forms a 48-bit counter.
