1) Calculation of overall frequency
The overall frequency is calculated using the above table according to the high-speed comparison
instructions being used in the program.
Overall frequency ≥ Sum of "response frequency of high-speed counter × Magnification for
calculation of overall frequency"
2) Example of calculation
When only the 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.
