Monitor Block Display for a High-speed Counter Block

For a High-speed Counter block, the Monitor Block function displays a sequence of screens with the following information:

1.The states of the block's four Preset Outputs.

2.The states of the block's Control Inputs.

3.The current values of the block's internal data storage registers: Accumulator, Counts per Timebase, and Strobe.

The exact appearance and sequence of screens depends upon whether the block has been set up for four-counter (Type A), two-counter (Type B), or one-counter (Type C) operation. The letter a, b, or c on the top line of the screen shows how the block is set up.

Preset Outputs

First, the Preset Outputs are displayed:

R E F (ctr number) (ctrtype)

P R E S E T O U T P U T

1 2 3 4

O O O O

Outputs that are forced are shown with an underscore (forced outputs do NOT respond to the actual value of the counter).

Control Inputs

Press F1 ( > ) to display the block's Control Inputs:

C O N T R O L				I N P U T S c
1	1	1	2	1	2	3
D	H	P	P	S	S	S
1	1	1	1	1	1	O

On this screen, the numbers on line 2 identify the first, second, third, of fourth control input of the same input type on the block. The third line identifies the input type: Disable Input (D), Home Input (H), Preload Input(P), or Strobe Input (S). The screen's bottom line shows the current state of each Control Input.

Register Values

Press F1 ( > ) to display the current value in each counter's accumulator, Counts-per-Timebase register, and Strobe register(s):

R E F	(number)(countertype)
A C C	1	: _ + (acc.value)
C T B	1	: _ + (countvalue)
>		n x t

Use the F1 ( > ) key to display the strobe value(s), and additional values appropriate to the counter type. For more detailed instructions for using a Hand-held Monitor with a High-speed Counter, refer to the High-speed Counter User's Manual.
