Getting the Totalizer Value

If users want to get the actual counter value, a formula such as follows can facilitate an easy calculation from the initial counter value, overflow value and current counter value:

Vtol = {Vini - Vmin (or Vmax) + 1} x Vvf + Vini - Vcur Vtol : totalizer value

Vini : initial counter value

Vmin : min. couner value = 0 (fixed value)

Vmax : max. counter value = 2 32 = 4,294,967,295 (fixed value)

Vvf : overflow value

Vcur : current counter value

Example:

If the initial value =10, overflow value =4, min. value = 0, current counter value = 3, the totalizer value could be calculated as

Totalizer value = {10 - 0 + 1} x 4 + 10 -3 = 51
