Initial Value

Totalizing counter

Remarks

Line receiver counter is valid only in sampling. This function should be executed in the setting stage before sampling starts.

Example

Uses Totalizing counter to channel 0.

VB.NET

Dim Ret As Integer
Ret = CntSetCounterMode ( Id , 0 , CNTS_MODE_NORMAL )
 

C, C++

long Ret;
Ret = CntSetCounterMode ( Id , 0 , CNTS_MODE_NORMAL );
 

C#

int Ret;
Ret = cnt.SetCounterMode ( Id , 0 , (short)CcntConst.CNTS_MODE_NORMAL );
 

Python

Ret = ctypes.c_long()
Ret.value = ccnt.CntSetCounterMode ( Id , 0 , ccnt.CNTS_MODE_NORMAL )
