Sample Explanation

This is a sample dedicated to digital device with counter function.
Click the "Status" button to update "CntStatus" in the "Status" column.

For the meaning of the "CntStatus" value, see "Status VI - ⑥Counter Input" in VI Reference.

Click the "Preset" button to apply the settings in the "Preset Value" column to the count value.

When this sample is used with DIO-0404LY-WQ, DIO-0404LY-WQ does not support count matching, so an error will occur in the "Count Match Setting" VI as it is.
 Please do not run the "Count Match Setting" VI by deleting the "Count Match Setting" VI or by using something like the "Diagram Disable Structure".

This sample can only be used with digital devices equipped with a counter function.
 If you are using a counter device (models starting with "CNT"), please use this sample.
