1) Calculation of overall frequency
The overall frequency is calculated by the high-speed comparison instruction used in the program based
on the above table.
Overall frequency ≥ Sum of "response frequency of high-speed counter × Magnification for
calculation of overall frequency"
2) Example of calculation
When only HSZ instruction is used six times in a program, the frequency is calculated by the formulas
shown in the "Only HSZ instruction" column in the above table.

1) The overall frequency is calculated as shown below because HSZ instruction is used six times.
Overall frequency = 50 - 1.5

6 = 41kHz
2) The sum of the response frequencies of the high-speed counters used is
calculated as shown below.
