Example

Sets the count direction of channel 0 to Up count.

VB.NET

Dim Ret As Integer
Ret = CntSetCountDirection ( Id , 0 , CNT_DIR_UP )
 

C, C++

long Ret;
Ret = CntSetCountDirection ( Id , 0 , CNT_DIR_UP );
 

C#

int Ret;
Ret = cnt.SetCountDirection ( Id , 0 , (short)CcntConst.CNT_DIR_UP );
 

Python

Ret = ctypes.c_long()
Ret.value = ccnt.CntSetCountDirection ( Id , 0 , ccnt.CNT_DIR_UP )
