Note A period-averaging sensor has a frequency output, but it is connected to a
SE terminal configured for period-average input and measured with the
PeriodAverage() instruction (see section Period Averaging — Overview
(p. 70) ).
5.1.3.1 Pulses Measured
Pulse outputs vary. These variations are illustrated in the figure Pulse-Sensor
Output-Signal Types
(p. 69).
Figure 23. Pulse-Sensor Output-Signal Types
5.1.3.2 Pulse-Input Channels
Table Pulse-Input Channels and Measurements (p. 69) lists devices, channels and
options for measuring pulse signals.
