２．Before using
CT08-01B can select count input signal from TTL or NIM on each channels.
Default setting is TTL. If you are going to change input signal settings,
remove the four screws that hold the left cover in place and then remove the left cover.
Select input signals with slide switches near the input connector on front panel.
Set slide switches according to letters side of slide switches.
To control this one by LAN communication, it's need to some setting items by 10Base-T/100Base-T
communication cable. Setting protocol is telnet protocol by TCP/IP connection.
To connect network by this one, IP address, subnet mask, and Port NO must be set to this unit.
Factory default is "IP address is 192.168.1.55", "sub net mask is 255.255.255.0" and
"Port NO is 7777 "
When connecting PC directly, it's need to use cross cable. Otherwise using HUB module, it's no need
to use cross cable.
The way of connecting PC directly is as follows.
It's need to set IP address and subnet mask to your PC.
Set IP address to 192.168.1.10, and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, for example.
About the way of setting address to your PC, see your PC manual.

In these setting items, only IP address must be set. Other items may be no change to set.
If you enter wrong number by mistake, you'd better to restore above data.
２－２－３．Turn back PC set data
If you change setting data of PC, turn back PC data to initial condition.
Let's try connecting test by optional Windows software such as "telnet".
Example test data is "telnet 192.168.1.55 7777" in MS-DOS prompt screen.
（IP address number must to be set number preliminary. ）
When in telnet operation, send data "VER?" which are expected reply data.
If reply data is like ”1.00 05-07-07", then communication line is right.
"Telnet" function contains hardware and software function, when disconnect line, line must be cut off
by "telnet" software operation before hardware disconnection.
Driver software for USB (Universal Serial Bus) operation is downloaded from our web server.
By installing this software, connecting is done like a COM port connection.
Switch on a CT08-01, connect USB cable, then there will be message box that shows "New hardware
device was found". According to PC directions, specify the folders of downloaded driver software.
When the driver software installs are done, open the "Control Panel" ( START → Control Panel),
click the "System" icon. Then property display of system appears. Select the "Device Manager".
Confirm the USB Serial Port (Com*) number in the tree between Port display.
Select the USB Serial Port (Com*), click Advanced in Port Setting display. It's possible to change
COM Port number. Click the check box Disable PNP □ , it's possible to short operation time in
connecting USB cable again.
Launch RS-232C communication software such as hyper-terminal including PC.
Set COM port number which is known in previous item, it's need to check communication line is available
or not. In this case It's no need to set baud rate. Send the command data such as "VER?", then get
the reply "1.00 04-09-03", there is no problem for communication

12/28

Connect the communication cable to USB port or LAN port on rear panel.
There is no need to connect both side, but there will be no problem even if connect both side.
If connected both side, latest command will be valid to the unit.
Connect count signal cable to CH0 to CH7 LEMO connector which are on front panel.
It' s possible to count maximum 8 channel signals.
Before connecting the cable it's need to set signal change switch (TTL side or NIM side), according
to input signal. (See the section 2-1)
２－４－３．Start signal (TTL positive logic)
TTL positive logic signal starts counting action.
The width of start signal pulse must be more than 100ns.
It's possible to check the count start status by LED lamp on front panel.
It counts from start signal "ON" to stop signal "ON".
When this signal is not useful, it's possible to start by software commands.
２－４－４．Stop signal (TTL positive logic)
TTL positive logic signal quits counting action.
The width of stop signal pulse must be more than 100ns.
It's possible to check the count stop status by LED lamp on front panel.
It counts from start signal "ON" to stop signal "ON".
When this signal is not useful, it's possible to quit counting by software commands.
２－４－５．Gate signal (TTL positive logic)
Gate signal is TTL positive logic signal.
When gate signal goes "L" counting action stopped during "L" period.
When gate signal goes "L" LED lamp is "OFF" during this period.
LED lamp goes "ON" during gate signal is "H" when counter starts.
When gate signal is no connection, gate signal is equal to logic "H".
While gate signal is "ON", the count data are stored in memory on synchronous gate
data acquisition mode. Data can be stored up to 10,000 memory address.
Run signal goes "H" when counting action is valid. It means count start and "Gate signal" are
in "H" logic, and LED goes "ON".
It's useful to use more than two counter units. Connecting this line to "Gate signal input" of another
unit, another units go active counting action. Of course another units must be active in count mode
before Run signal go "H".

Right after "all reply mode" has been activated, the reply is
"OK" or "NG" even if the command doesn't require a reply.
ALL_REP_DS All reply mode disable
There is not reply, if the command doesn't require a reply.
This is the same function as V1.03 (or older).
４．Counter data acquisition commands
４－１．About counter data acquisition commands
These commands help you to store the count data changing from moment to moment.
There are two timings of storing counter data, one is through GATE signal, the other is internal TIMER.
As the following figure shows, the data which increased input pulse in count time are stored sequentially
in memory.
(GATE MODE)
Counts while GATE signal is H, and count data is stored on the memory at falling edge.
START(COMM) COUNTING TIME（over 10ms）
SUSPENDING TIME(over 200ns）
GATE（TTL IN) COUNTING COUNTING COUNTING
or TIMER(INTERNAL)
LATCH DATA(INTERNAL)
MEMORY SAVE(INTERNAL)
SAVE TIME SAVE TIME SAVE TIME
To meet the condition of SAVE TIME >= 10ms,
please input COUNTING TIME + SUSPENDING TIME >= 10ms.
19/28

(GATE EDGE MODE) This mode is available for hardware version 1～ (HD-VER 1～).
Count data is stored on the memory at the falling edge of GATE signal.
Counter starts at the first falling edge of GATE signal after STRT command.
START(COMM) "H" time
"L" time
GATE（TTL IN) COUNTING COUNTING COUNTING
LATCH DATA(INTERNAL)
Counter start
MEMORY SAVE(INTERNAL)
SAVE TIME SAVE TIME SAVE TIME
To meet the condition of SAVE TIME >= 10ms,
please input COUNTING TIME + SUSPENDING TIME >= 10ms.
４－２．Preparation for data acquisition commands
