Functional Description:
The Pulse Counter Digital Input generic hardware operator provides access to a digital input channel resource in the physical hardware capable of digital counting pulses. When the generic operator is linked to a specific hardware resource, its output value will correspond to the number of pulses accumulated since it was last reset. Input pin serves to reset the operator count. Input pin determines if the count is to increment ( ) or decrement ( ) when a pulse is detected.

User-Defined Properties:
Object Name. A string label that identifies the operator

Display Reset Count Input. This property determines if output pin is visible in the schema diagram. Design Pad issues a warning upon processing the schema when the pin is visible but not connected. The warning message is not issued when the pin is not visible (when this property is not checked).
Display Direction Input. This property determines if output pin is visible in the schema diagram. Design Pad issues a warning upon processing the schema when the pin is visible but not connected. The warning message is not issued when the pin is not visible (when this property is not checked).

Units. Engineering units label used for readability

Scaling Factor.

Decimal Point Position.

Initial Velocity.

Initial Acceleration.

Initial Jerk.

Comments: None.
