A value "0" is returned until the first measured value is available.
The measurement process begins with the first pulse detected once the internal gate has

each update time. If the internal gate is closed, measuring stops and the measured value is
no longer updated.
The figures below shows an example of frequency measurement with an update time of 1 s:
