Example 2:

A system of tipping bucket raingauges is installed to monitor rainfall in a catchment area.
Each raingauge provides a pulse signal to a 505K - each pulse represents 0.2mm of rain.

The user wants a transmission at each pulse. During dry periods or periods of light rain, the
number of transmissions are small - but during periods of heavy rain, there could be a pulse
every couple of seconds - because of the large number of raingauges, this could result in
jamming of the radio channel. To prevent this occurring, a paralysis time of 60 seconds is
selected.

4.7.1 Manually Setting Counter Values

The values in the counters can be manually set to any value - refer to section 5.3.2 of this
manual.
