Sets all of the configurable options of a 9513 counter.
For more information, refer to the AM9513A data sheet (9513A.pdf) in the Documents subdirectory where you installed the UL (C:\Program files\Measurement Computing\DAQ by default).
C/C++
int cbC9513Config(int BoardNum, int CounterNum, int GateControl, int CounterEdge, int CountSource, int SpecialGate, int Reload, int RecycleMode, int BCDMode, int CountDirection, int OutputControl);
Visual Basic
Function cbC9513Config(ByVal BoardNum&, ByVal CounterNum&, ByVal GateControl&, ByVal CounterEdge&, ByVal CountSource&, ByVal SpecialGate&, ByVal Reload&, ByVal RecycleMode&, ByVal BCDMode&, ByVal CountDirection&, ByVal OutputControl&) As Long
BoardNum
The number associated with the board when it was installed with InstaCal or created with cbCreateDaqDevice(). BoardNum may be 0 to 99. The board must have a 9513 counter.
CounterNum
Counter number (1 - n) where n is the number of counters on the board. For example, a CIO-CTR5 has 5, a CIO-CTR10 has 10, etc. See board-specific information in the UL User's Guide.
GateControl
Sets the gating response for level, edge, etc. Set it to one of the constants in the "GateControl argument values" section below.
CounterEdge
Which edge to count. Referred to as "Source Edge" in 9513 data book. Can be set to POSITIVEEDGE (count on rising edge) or NEGATIVEEDGE (count on falling edge).
CountSource
Each counter may be set to count from one of 16 internal or external sources. Set it to one of the constants in the "CountSource argument values" section below.
SpecialGate
Special gate may be enabled or disabled (CBENABLED or CBDISABLED in Visual Basic).
Reload
Reload the counter from the load register (Reload = LOADREG) or alternately load from the load register, then the hold register (Reload = LOADANDHOLDREG).
RecycleMode
Execute once (RecycleMode = ONETIME) or reload and recycle (RecycleMode = RECYCLE).
BCDMode
Counter may operate in binary coded decimal count (ENABLED) or binary count (DISABLED) (CBENABLED or CBDISABLED in Visual Basic).
CountDirection
AM9513 may count up (COUNTUP) or down (COUNTDOWN).
OutputControl
The type of output desired. Set it to one of the constants in the "OutputControl argument values" section below.
