Current Rate (Ctr[0].CurrentRate to Ctr[3].CurrentRate)
This 32-bit value is the current rate value, scaled by CtrnScalar, from the counter.
This uses the Cyclic Rate Calculation Method. See
page 32 for more
information.
Rate-based ranges use this value for comparisons, even when the Ctr[n].RateValid
bit is zero.
Pulse Interval (Ctr[0].PulseInterval and Ctr[1].PulseInterval)
This is the time, in microseconds, between the last two pulses for the counter.
The pulses indicated here are those transitions on which the count value can
change. For example, in quadrature X1 mode, these are the successive rising edges
of A only.
If more than two pulses have occurred since the value was last read, the value
indicates only the time between the last two pulses that have been processed.
IMPORTANT
For the L23E packaged controllers embedded HSC, the current rate words
do not apply; they are always returned as 0 in the input array. The rate
words in this section apply to the 1769-HSC module and the CMX 5370
L2 packaged controllers embedded HSC.

IMPORTANT
This value is current only when the Ctr[n].RateValid bit is set (1).
IMPORTANT
For the L23E packaged controllers embedded HSC, the pulse interval
words do not apply; they are always returned as 0 in the input array. The
pulse interval words in this section apply to the 1769-HSC module and
the CMX 5370 L2 packaged controllers embedded HSC.
