Note
The digital I/O points used by high
-speed counter devices are assigned during CPU device
configuration. When digital I/O point addresses are assigned to HSC devices, the values of
the assigned I/O point addresses cannot be modified by the force function in a watch table.

WARNING
Risks with changes to filter time setting for digital input channels
If the filter time for a digital input channel is changed from a previous setting, a new "0"
level input value might need to be presented for up to 20.0 ms accumulated duration before
the filter becomes fully responsive to new inputs. During this time, short "0" pulse events of
duration less than 20.0 ms may not be detected or counted.
This changing of filter times can result in unexpected machine or process operation, which
can cause death or serious injury to personnel, and/or damage to equipment.
To ensure that a new filter time goes immediately into effect, power cycle the CPU.
After enabling the HSC, configure the other parameters, such as counter function, initial
values, reset options and interrupt events.
