You must enter a value that lies above the counter low limit.
You limit the counting range by setting the counter low limit. The minimum value for the

By configuring the start value, you specify the value at which counting is to start. You must
enter a value between the counting limits or equal to the counting limits.
The default setting is "0".
By configuring a comparison value (Page 87), you specify the counter value that controls the
STS_DQ reset bit based on the comparison function that was selected under "Set output".
You must enter a value which is greater than or equal to the counter low limit and less than
comparison value 1.
The default setting is "0".
By configuring the second comparison value (Page 87), you specify the additional counter
value that controls the STS_DQ reset bit based on the comparison function that was
selected under "Set output".
You must enter a value which is greater than comparison value 0 and less than or equal to
the counter high limit.
