red lion PAXI-1/8 User manual

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PAXI (PAX Counter/Rate Panel Meter) offers many features and
performance capabilities to suit a wide range of industrial applications. The
Plug-in options cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for present
applications, while providing easy upgrades for future needs.
The PAXI meter accepts digital inputs from a variety of sources including
switch contacts, outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits, magnetic pickups and all
standard RLC sensors. The meter can accept directional, uni-directional or
Quadrature signals simultaneously. The maximum input signal varies up to 34
KHz depending on the count mode and function configurations programmed.
Each input signal can be independently scaled to various process values.
The meter provides six different display indications. These include Counter
A, Counter B, Counter C (or slave display), Rate, Rate Maximum (High) and
Rate Minimum (Low). Counter A and/or Counter B indicate the corresponding
input count value. Counter C indicates the sum or difference between Counter
A and Counter B values or can be programmed to be a Serial Slave Display. The
Rate display can be programmed to show the speed of Counter A or Counter B.
The Maximum and Minimum displays can indicate the peaks and valleys of the
speed with programmable capture times to prevent false detection.
Annunciators indicate which display is being shown.
The front panel keys and three user inputs are programmable to perform
various meter functions. One of the functions includes exchanging parameter
lists, allowing double the number of programmable setpoint, scale factor and
count load values.
The meter can have up to four setpoint outputs, determined by the Plug-in
cards. The Plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays (5A), quad FORM-A
relays (3A) or either quad sinking or quad sourcing open collector logic outputs.
The outputs can be assigned to any of the four displays. The outputs can also be
independently configured to suit variety of control and alarm requirements.
A linear DC output signal is available as a Plug-in card. The card provides
either 20 mA or 10 V signals. The analog output can be assigned to any of the
six displays and is scalable.
Plug-in cards can also provide serial communications. These include RS232,
RS485 and MODBUS. Display values, setpoint alarm values and setpoint states
can be controlled through the serial loop. With the communications card
installed, it is possible to configure the meter using a Windows®based program.
The meter configuration data can be saved to a file for later recall.
Once the meter has been initially configured, the parameter list may be
locked out from further modification entirely or the setpoint, scale factor and
count load values can be made accessible. This lockout is possible through a
security code or user input.
The meter has been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments.
With a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing to meet CE
requirements, the meter provides a tough yet reliable application solution.
SAFETY SUMMARY
All safety related regulations, local codes and instructions that appear in this
literature or on equipment must be observed to ensure personal safety and to
prevent damage to either the instrument or equipment connected to it. If
equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Do not use this meter to directly command motors, valves, or other actuators
not equipped with safeguards. To do so can be potentially harmful to persons or
equipment in the event of a fault to the unit.

The PAX series meters can be fitted with up to three optional plug-in cards.
However, only one card from each function type can be installed at a time. The
function types include Setpoint Alarms (PAXCDS), Communications
(PAXCDC), and Analog Output (PAXCDL). The cards can be installed initially
or at a later date. Each optional plug-in card is shipped with complete
installation instructions, however, programming should be reviewed in Modules
6, 7, and 8.
SETPOINT ALARMS PLUG-IN CARDS (PAXCDS)
The PAX series has four setpoint alarm output plug-in cards. Only one of
these cards can be installed at a time. (Logic state of the outputs can be reversed
in the programming.) These plug-in cards include:
Dual relay, FORM-C, Normally open & closed
Quad relay, FORM-A, Normally open only
Isolated quad sinking NPN open collector
Isolated quad sourcing PNP open collector
SERIAL RS485 PLUG-IN CARD (PAXCDC)
An RS485 communication port can be installed with the serial RS485 plug-
in card. The RS485 option allows the connection of up to 32 meters or other
devices (such as a printer, PLC, HMI, or a host computer) on a single pair of
wires not longer than 4,000 feet. The address number of each meter on the line
can be programmed from 0-99. Data from the meter(s) can be interrogated or
changed and alarm outputs can be reset by sending the proper command string.
The function keys and user inputs can be programmed to send data to a printer
or other device via serial communications.
SERIAL RS232 PLUG-IN CARD (PAXCDC)
An RS232 communication port can be installed with the serial RS232 plug-
in card. The RS232 is intended to allow only 2 devices, not more than 50 feet
apart, to communicate to each other (such as a printer, PLC, HMI, or host
computer). Data from the meter(s) can be interrogated or changed and alarm
outputs can be reset by sending the proper command string. The function keys
and user inputs can be programmed to send data to a printer or device via serial
communications.
MODBUS PLUG-IN CARD (PAXCDC)
A MODBUS communication port can be installed with the MODBUS plug-
in card. The MODBUS card uses standard MODBUS protocol, which allows
the integration of devices of different types and manufacturers within a common
communication framework.
ANALOG OUTPUT PLUG-IN CARD (PAXCDL)
Either a 0(4)-20 mA or 0-10 V retransmitted linear DC output is available
from the analog output plug-in card. The programmable output low and high
scaling can be based on Counter A, Counter B, Counter C, Rate, Maximum, or
Minimum values. Reverse slope output is possible by reversing the scaling point
positions.
PC SOFTWARE (SFPAX)
The SFPAX is a Windows based program that allows configuring of the PAX
meter from a PC. Using SFPAX makes it easier to program the PAX meter and
allows saving the PAX program in a PC file for future use. On-line help is
available within the software. A PAX serial plug-in card is required to program
the meter using the software.
Installation
The PAX meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements for indoor use when
properly installed. The unit is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel.
Prepare the panel cutout to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch and
cardboard sleeve from the unit and
discard the cardboard sleeve.
Slide the panel gasket over
the rear of the unit to the
back of the bezel. The
unit should be installed
fully assembled. Insert
the unit into the panel
cutout.
While holding the unit in place, push the panel latch over the rear of the unit
so that the tabs of the panel latch engage in the slots on the case. The panel
latch should be engaged in the farthest forward slot possible. To achieve a
proper seal, tighten the latch screws evenly until the unit is snug in the panel
(Torque to approximately 7 in-lbs [79N-cm]). Do not over-tighten the screws.
Installation Environment
The unit should be installed in a location that does not exceed the operating
temperature and provides good air circulation. Placing the unit near devices
that generate excessive heat should be avoided.
The bezel should only be cleaned with a soft cloth and neutral soap product.
Do NOT use solvents. Continuous exposure to direct sunlight may accelerate
the aging process of the bezel.
Do not use tools of any kind (screwdrivers, pens, pencils, etc.) to operate
the keypad of the unit.

OPTIONAL PLUG-IN CARDS AND ACCESSORIES
PANEL CUT-OUT

2.0 SETTING THE JUMPER AND DIP SWITCHES
3.0 INSTALLING PLUG-IN CARDS
The Plug-in cards are separately purchased optional cards that perform
specific functions. These cards plug into the main circuit board of the meter. The
Plug-in cards have many unique functions when used with the PAXI. The
literature that comes with these cards should be discarded, unless it specifically
states in the Plug-in Card literature that the information applies to the PAXI.
CAUTION: The Plug-in card and main circuit board contain static
sensitive components. Before handling the cards, discharge static
charges from your body by touching a grounded bare metal
object. Ideally, handle the cards at a static controlled clean
workstation. Also, only handle the cards by the edges. Dirt, oil or
other contaminants that may contact the cards can adversely
affect circuit operation.
To Install:
1. With the case open, locate the Plug-in card connector for the card type to be
installed. The types are keyed by position with different main circuit board
connector locations. When installing the card, hold the meter by the rear
terminals and not by the front display board.*
2. Install the Plug-in card by aligning the card terminals with the slot bay in the
rear cover. Be sure the connector is fully engaged and the tab on the Plug-in
card rests in the alignment slot on the display board.
3. Slide the meter base back into the case. Be sure the rear cover latches fully
into the case.
4. Apply the Plug-in card label to the bottom side of the meter. Do Not Cover
the vents on the top surface of the meter. The surface of the case must be
clean for the label to adhere properly. Apply the label to the area designated
by the large case label.

2.1 SETTING THE JUMPER
The meter has one jumper for user input logic. When using the user inputs
this jumper must be set before applying power. The Main Circuit Board figure
shows the location of the jumper and DIP switch.
The user input jumper
determines signal logic
for the user inputs, when
they are used with user
functions or for input
signal direction. All user
inputs are set by this
jumper.
2.2 SETTING THE INPUT DIP SWITCH
The meter has six DIP switches for Input A and Input B terminal set-up that
must be set before applying power.
SWITCHES 3 and 6
HI Frequency: Removes damping capacitor and allows max. frequency.
LO Frequency: Adds a damping capacitor for switch contact bounce. Also
limits input frequency to 50 Hz and input pulse widths to 10 msec.

WIRING OVERVIEW
Electrical connections are made via screw-clamp terminals located on the
back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and
current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good
installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power
supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker.
When wiring the meter, compare the numbers embossed on the back of the
meter case against those shown in wiring drawings for proper wire position.
Strip the wire, leaving approximately 0.3” (7.5 mm) bare lead exposed (stranded
wires should be tinned with solder.) Insert the lead under the correct screw-
clamp terminal and tighten until the wire is secure. (Pull wire to verify
tightness.) Each terminal can accept up to one #14 AWG (2.55 mm) wire, two
#18 AWG (1.02 mm), or four #20 AWG (0.61 mm).
EMC INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Although this meter is designed with a high degree of immunity to Electro-
Magnetic Interference (EMI), proper installation and wiring methods must be
followed to ensure compatibility in each application. The type of the electrical
noise, source or coupling method into the meter may be different for various
installations. The meter becomes more immune to EMI with fewer I/O
connections. Cable length, routing, and shield termination are very important
and can mean the difference between a successful or troublesome installation.
Listed below are some EMC guidelines for successful installation in an
industrial environment.
1. The meter should be mounted in a metal enclosure, which is properly
connected to protective earth.
2. Use shielded (screened) cables for all Signal and Control inputs. The shield
(screen) pigtail connection should be made as short as possible. The
connection point for the shield depends somewhat upon the application.
Listed below are the recommended methods of connecting the shield, in order
of their effectiveness.
a. Connect the shield only at the rail where the unit is mounted to earth
ground (protective earth).
b. Connect the shield to earth ground at both ends of the cable, usually when
the noise source frequency is above 1 MHz.
c. Connect the shield to common of the meter and leave the other end of the
shield unconnected and insulated from earth ground.
3. Never run Signal or Control cables in the same conduit or raceway with AC
power lines, conductors feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, and
heaters, etc. The cables should be ran in metal conduit that is properly
grounded. This is especially useful in applications where cable runs are long
and portable two-way radios are used in close proximity or if the installation
is near a commercial radio transmitter.
4. Signal or Control cables within an enclosure should be routed as far away as
possible from contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy
components.
5. In extremely high EMI environments, the use of external EMI suppression
devices, such as ferrite suppression cores, is effective. Install them on Signal
and Control cables as close to the unit as possible. Loop the cable through the
core several times or use multiple cores on each cable for additional
protection. Install line filters on the power input cable to the unit to suppress
power line interference. Install them near the power entry point of the
enclosure. The following EMI suppression devices (or equivalent) are
recommended:
Ferrite Suppression Cores for signal and control cables:
Fair-Rite # 0443167251 (RLC# FCOR0000)
TDK # ZCAT3035-1330A
Steward # 28B209-0A0
Line Filters for input power cables:
Schaffner # FN610-1/07 (RLC# LFIL0000)
Schaffner # FN670-1.8/07
Corcom # 1 VR3
Note: Reference manufacturer’s instructions when installing a line filter.
6. Long cable runs are more susceptible to EMI pickup than short cable runs.
Therefore, keep cable runs as short as possible.
7. Switching of inductive loads produces high EMI. Use of snubbers across
inductive loads suppresses EMI.
Snubber: RLC# SNUB0000.

CAUTION: Sensor input common is NOT isolated from user input common. In order to preserve the safety of the meter application, the sensor input
common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective earth ground potential. If not,
hazardous voltage may be present at the User Inputs and User Input Common terminals. Appropriate considerations must then be given to the potential
of the user input common with respect to earth ground; and the common of the isolated plug-in cards with respect to input common.

RS232 Communications
RS232 is intended to allow two devices to communicate over distances up to
50 feet. Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) transmits data on the Transmitted Data
(TXD) line and receives data on the Received Data (RXD) line. Data Computer
Equipment (DCE) receives data on the TXD line and transmits data on the RXD
line. The PAX emulates a DTE. If the other device connected to the meter also
emulates a DTE, the TXD and RXD lines must be interchanged for
communications to take place. This is known as a null modem connection. Most
printers emulate a DCE device while most computers emulate a DTE device.
Some devices cannot accept more than two or three characters in succession
without a pause in between. In these cases, the meter employs a busy function.
As the meter begins to transmit data, the RXD line (RS232) is monitored to
determine if the receiving device is “busy”. The receiving device asserts that it
is busy by setting the RXD line to a space condition (logic 0). The meter then
suspends transmission until the RXD line is released by the receiving device.
RS485 Communications
The RS485 communication standard allows the connection of up to 32
devices on a single pair of wires, distances up to 4,000 ft. and data rates as high
as 10M baud (the PAX is limited to 19.2k baud). The same pair of wires is used
to both transmit and receive data. RS485 is therefore always half-duplex, that is,
data cannot be received and transmitted simultaneously.

PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (PAR KEY)
The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters can be
programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by pressing the
PAR key. If it is not accessible then it is locked by either a security code, or a
hardware lock.
Two types of programming modes are available. Quick Programming Mode
permits only certain parameters to be viewed and/or modified. All meter
functions continue to operate except the front panel keys change to
Programming Mode Operations. Quick Programming Mode is configured in
Module 3. Full Programming Mode permits all parameters to be viewed and
modified. In this mode, incoming counts may not be recognized correctly, the
front panel keys change to Programming Mode Operations and certain user
input functions are disabled. Throughout this document, Programming Mode
(without Quick in front) always refers to “Full” Programming.
MODULE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
The Programming Menu is organized into nine modules. These modules
group together parameters that are related in function. The display will alternate
between -!/ and the present module. The arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used to
select the desired module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the PAR
key.
MODULE MENU (PAR KEY)
Each module has a separate module menu (which is shown at the start of each
module discussion). The PAR key is pressed to advance to a particular
parameter to be changed, without changing the programming of preceding
parameters. After completing a module, the display will return to -!/ +$.
Programming may continue by accessing additional modules.
SELECTION / VALUE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
For each parameter, the display alternates between the present parameter and
the selections/value for that parameter. The arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used to
move through the selections/values for that parameter. Pressing the PAR key,
stores and activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter
to the next parameter.
PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (DSP KEY or at -!/ +$ PARKEY)
The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the DSP key (from anywhere
in the Programming Mode) or the PAR key (with -!/ +$ displayed). This will
commit any stored parameter changes to memory and return the meter to the
Display Mode. If a parameter was just changed, the PAR key should be pressed
to store the change before pressing the DSP key. (If power loss occurs before
returning to the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)
PROGRAMMING TIPS
It is recommended to start with Module 1 for counting and Module 4 for rate.
If lost or confused while programming, press the DSP key and start over. When
programming is complete, it is recommended to record the parameter
programming on the Parameter User Chart and lock out parameter
programming with a user input or lock-out code.
FACTORY SETTINGS
Factory Settings may be completely restored in Module 9. This is a good
starting point for programming problems. Most parameters can be left at their
Factory Settings without affecting basic start-up. These parameters are
identified throughout the module explanations.
ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY
In the explanation of the modules, the following dual display with arrows will
appear. This is used to illustrate the display alternating between the parameter
on top and the parameter’s Factory Setting on the bottom. In most cases,
selections and values for the parameter will be listed on the right.

SCALING CALCULATIONS
Each counter has the ability to scale an input signal to a desired display
value. This is accomplished by the counter mode (x-&+'), scale factor (x(&%3&),
scale multiplier (x(&3#!) and decimal point (x.)&-'). The scale factor is
calculated using:
SF (x(&%3&) = Desired Display Decimal DDD
(Number of pulses per ‘single’ unit x CM x SM)
Where:
Number of pulses per ‘single’ unit: pulses per unit generated by the
process (i.e. # of pulses per foot)
CM: Counter Mode(x-&+') times factor of the mode 1,2 or 4.
SM: Scale Multiplier (x(&3#!) selection of 1, 0.1 or 0.01.
Example:
1. Show feet to the hundredths (0.00) with 100 pulses per foot:
Scale Factor would be 100 / (100 x 1 x 1) = 1
(In this case, the scale multiplier and counter mode factor are 1)
2. Show feet with 120 pulses per foot: Scale Factor would be 1 / (120 x 1 x 1)
= 0.0083333. (In this case, the scale multiplier of 0.01 could be used: 1 / (120
x 1 x 0.01) = 0.83333 or show to hundredths (0.00): 100 / (120 x 1 x 1) =
0.8333.)
General Rules on Scaling
1. It is recommended that, the scale factor be as close as possible to, but not
exceeding 1.00000. This can be accomplished by increasing or decreasing
the counter decimal point position, using the scale multiplier, or selecting a
different count mode.
2. To double the number of pulses per unit, use counter modes direction X2 or
quad X2. To increase it by four times, use counter mode quad X4. Using
these modes will decrease the maximum input frequency.
3. A scale factor greater than 1.00000 will cause Counter display rounding. In
this case, digit jumps could be caused by the internal count register rounding
the display. The precision of a counter application cannot be improved by
using a scale factor greater than 1. 00000.
4. The number of pulses per single unit must be greater than or equal to the
DDD value for the scale factor to be less than or equal to one.
5. Lowering the scale factor can be accomplished by lowering the counter
decimal position. (Example: 100 (Hundredths)/10 pulses = 10.000 lowering
to 10 (Tenths)/10 = 1.000.)

PROGRAMMING MODE LOCK-OUT
Programming Mode is locked-out, as long as activated (maintained action).
In Module 3, certain parameters can be setup where they are still accessible
during Programming Mode Lockout. A security code can be configured to
allow complete programming access during user input lockout. Function keys
should not be programmed for -#$&.
The meter issues a block print through the serial port when activated. The
data transmitted during the print request is configured in Module 7. If the user
input is still active after the transmission is complete (about 100 msec.), an
additional transmission will occur. Only one transmission will take place with
each function key depression. This selection will only function when a serial
communications Plug-in card is installed in the meter.
Module 2 is the programming for rear terminal user inputs and front panel
function keys.
Three rear terminal user inputs are individually programmable to perform
specific meter control functions. While in the Display Mode, the function is
executed when the user input transitions to the active state. (Refer to the user
input specifications for active state response times.) Certain user input functions
are disabled in “full” Programming Mode.
Three front panel function F1, F2 and RST keys are also individually
programmable to perform specific meter control functions. While in the Display
Mode, the primary function is executed when the key is pressed. Holding the
F1 and F2 function keys for three seconds executes a secondary function. It is
possible to program a secondary function without a primary function. The front
panel key functions are disabled in both Programming Modes.
In most cases, if more than one user input and/or function key is programmed
for the same function, the maintained (level trigger) actions will be performed
while at least one of those user inputs or function keys are activated. The
momentary (edge trigger) actions are performed every time any of those user
inputs or function keys transition to the active state. All functions are available
to both user inputs and function keys.
Some of the user functions have a sublist of parameters. The sublist is
accessed when PAR is pressed at the listed function. The function will only be
performed for the parameters entered as >)(. If a user input or function key is
configured for a function with a sublist, then that sublist will need to be scrolled
through each time to access the following user inputs or function keys

This parameter specifies the number of linear segments used for the Rate
Scaling function. Each linear segment has two scaling points which define the
upper and lower endpoints of the segment. The number of segments used
depends on the linearity of the process and the display accuracy required as
described below.
Linear Application – 2 Scaling Points
Linear processes use a single segment (two scaling points) to provide a linear
Rate display from 0 up to the maximum input frequency.

"

()B(
Non-linear Application – Up to 10 Scaling Points
Non-linear processes may utilize up to nine segments (ten scaling points) to
provide a piece-wise linear approximation representing the non-linear function.
The Rate display will be linear throughout each individual segment (i.e.
between sequential scaling points). Thus, the greater the number of segments,
the greater the conformity accuracy. Several linearization equations are
available in the SFPAX software.
About Scaling Points
Each Scaling Point is specified by two programmable parameters: A desired
Rate Display Value (!.(-) and a corresponding Rate Input Value (!*+-).
Scaling points are entered sequentially in ascending order of Rate Input Value.
Two scaling points must be programmed to define the upper and lower
endpoints of the first linear segment. When multiple segments are used, the
upper scaling point for a given segment becomes the lower scaling point for the
next sequential segment. Thus, for each additional segment used, only one
additional scaling point must be programmed.
The following chart shows the Scaling Points, the corresponding Parameter
mnemonics, and the Factory Default Settings for each point.

RATE SCALING
To scale the Rate, enter a Scaling Display value with a corresponding Scaling
Input value. (The Display and Input values can be entered by Key-in or Applied
Methods.) These values are internally plotted to a Display value of 0 and Input
value of 0 Hz. A linear relationship is formed between these points to yield a
rate display value that corresponds to the incoming input signal rate. The PAXI
is capable of showing a rate display value for any linear process.
KEY-IN SCALING METHOD CALCULATION
If a display value versus input signal (in pulses per second) is known, then
those values can be entered into Scaling Display (!').(-) and Scaling Input
(!')*+-). No further calculations are needed.
If only the number of pulses per ‘single’ unit (i.e. # of pulses per foot) is
known, then it can be entered as the Scaling Input value and the Scaling Display
value will be entered as the following:
NOTES:
1. If # of pulse per unit is les than 10, then multiply both Input and Display
values by 10.
2. If # of pulse per unit is less than 1, then multiply both Input and Display
values by 100.
3. If the Display value is raised or lowered, then Input value must be raised
or lowered by the same proportion (i.e. Display value for per hour is
entered by a third less (1200) then Input value is a third less of # of pulses
per unit). The same is true if the Input value is raised or lowered, then
Display value must be raised or lowered by the same proportion.
4. Both values are greater than 0.0.
EXAMPLE:
1. With 15.1 pulses per foot, show feet per minute in tenths. Scaling Display
= 60.0 Scaling Input = 15.1.
2. With 0.25 pulses per gallon, show whole gallons per hour. (To have greater
accuracy, multiply both Input and Display values by 10.) Scaling Display
= 36000 Scaling Input = 2.5.
INPUT FREQUENCY CALCULATION
The meter determines the input frequency by summing the number of falling
edges received during a sample period of time. The sample period begins on the
first falling edge. At this falling edge, the meter starts accumulating time
towards Low Update and High Update values. Also, the meter starts
accumulating the number of falling edges. When the time reaches the Low
Update Time value, the meter looks for one more falling edge to end the sample
period. If a falling edge occurs (before the High Update Time value is reached),
the Rate display will update to the new value and the next sample period will
start on the same edge. If the High Update Time value is reached (without
receiving a falling edge after reaching Low Update Time), then the sample
period will end but the Rate display will be forced to zero. The High Update
Time value must be greater than the Low Update Time value. Both values must
be greater than 0.0. The input frequency calculated during the sample period, is
then shown as a Rate value determined by either scaling method.
RATE DISPLAY EXCEEDED
If the rate of the input signal causes a display that exceeds the capacity of the
Rate display (5 digits, 99999), then the display will indicate an overflow
condition by showing “! $#$#”. During this overflow condition, the Minimum
and Maximum rate values will stay at their values even during resets.

transmissions) modes of operation, the input signal is scaled directly. For 3..
3, and (E, 3, modes of operation, the math is performed on the input signals
and then the result is scaled. To achieve correct results, both Input A and Input

result is scaled only according to Counter C parameters.
(Example: If Counter A is set for Count X1 mode and Counter
B is set for Count X2 mode, then Counter C will increment by
1 for each pulse received on Input A and increment by 2 for
each pulse received on Input B less any effects of scaling.)
Counter C counts the incoming pulses from Counter A and B

subtracts the B counts from the A counts. The result is scaled
only according to Counter C parameters. (Example: If
Counter A is set for Count X1 mode and Counter B is set for
