Setting Initial Counter Value

In order to utilize the alarm function, users have to set a high-alarm limit value and/or a low alarm limit value, and a initial value to fulfill the requirements for a basic alarm setting.

Overflow Value

Overflow value is the number of times the counter value exceeds the Max/Min values you specified. When the counter value exceeds Maxi- mum value, the overflow value increases; when the counter value goes under Minimum value, the overflow value decreases. Besides, when the counter value runs beyond the range of Max/Min value, it will continue counting from the initial value. Furthermore, if users want to check the counter value to see if it is higher or lower than the Max/Min value, they can use the "ReadOverflowFlag" library to gain a readout of the over- flow value.
