Chapter 2 Module Operation
Up and Down Pulses Mode Selection
In this mode, the counter channel increments on the rising edge of pulses applied
to input A and decrements on the rising edge of pulses applied to input B. When
set, the Direction Inhibit bit causes both A and B to increment. When set, the
Direction Invert bit causes B to increment and A to decrement. When the
Direction Invert and Direction Inhibit bits are both set, both A and B
decrement.
Figure4-UpandDown Pulse Mode (direction inhibit = 0, direction invert = 0)
TIP
When both inputs transition simultaneously or near simultaneously, the
net result is no change to the count value.
