Counter NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS

NI counter/timer devices use the National Instruments NI-TIO ASIC, designed specifically to meet the counting and timing requirements of measurement applications that are beyond the capabilities of generic, off-the-shelf counter/timer components.

Counter/timer devices provide a variety of measurement solutions, including measuring a number of time-related quantities, counting events or totalizing, and monitoring position with quadrature encoders. Counter/timer devices feature up to eight 32-bit counters and often fulfill critical timing and synchronization functions as components of complex measurement systems. Use counter/timers for:
- Frequency measurement
- Edge or event counting (totalizing)
- Pulse-width measurement
- Event timestamps
- Frequency generation
- Frequency shift-keying (FSK)
- Frequency division
- Pulse-train generation and pulse-width modulation (PWM)
