CONFIG COUNT
Tasking Statement
SYNTAX:
CONFIG COUNT number,address,bit [,preset] [,AUTO]
PURPOSE:
To define the characteristics of a software counter.
REMARKS:
The CONFIG COUNT statement is the initial step in setting up a software counter. Up to eight
counters can be defined. A counter input may be any digital input.
The counter number has a range of 0 to 7. The address is the address of a parallel I/O port. The bit
parameter specifies bit 0 through 7 of that port.
The optional preset parameter is only used when you want an interrupt at a specified number of
counts. When the optional AUTO parameter is specified, the counter will automatically reset to zero
when the preset is reached.
For additional information see the Multitasking Chapters.
