The CR1000 can measure the period of a signal on a SE terminal. The specified
number of cycles is timed with a resolution of 136 ns, making the resolution of
the period measurement 136 ns ns divided by the number of cycles chosen.
Low-level signals are amplified prior to a voltage comparator. The internal
voltage comparator is referenced to the programmed threshold. The threshold
parameter allows referencing the internal voltage comparator to voltages other
than 0 V. For example, a threshold of 2500 mV allows a 0 to 5 Vdc digital signal
to be sensed by the internal comparator without the need of any additional input
conditioning circuitry. The threshold allows direct connection of standard digital
