The National Instruments FP-CTR-500 8-Channel Counter Input Module is a versatile, high-speed digital counter input module for Compact FieldPoint thatcan be used to count digital signals ranging from 10 to 30 VDC and to measure frequency. This module is fast enough to handle input signals up to 50 kHz for high speed applications and flexible enough to measure frequency using the internal frequency reference or the external gate inputs. This powerful and versatile counter module features configurable lowpass filters to eliminate high-frequency noise and cascadable counter channels that can be used to create counters up to 128 bits wide to store trillions of counts. For discrete control applications such as packaging, the digital output channels can be configured to automatically energize external devices.
