Table 6G is based upon a counter card with [÷4] divider (factory set). A single card is capable of 16 bits
natural binary output maximum.
For the 27-28 MHz crystal, the resulting resolution and recirculations versus stroke are as follows:
Resolution Circulations Stroke Length
0.000125 125 Up to 8 inches
0.00025 64 Up to 16 inches
0.0005 32 Up to 32 inches
0.001 16 Up to 65 inches
0.002 8 Up to 131 inches
0.004 4 Up to 262 inches
0.008 2 Up to 300 inches
0.016 1 Up to 300 inches

1. LSB = Least Significant Bit
2. MSB = Most Significant Bit. MSB is determined by dividing the stroke length by the resolution and comparing to the maximum count.
For Example: 25 in./0.001 = 25,000; this requires a maximum count of 32,767, thus yielding an MSB at Pin 15.
