12.1.9 Limit values of count mode
Specific conditions must be fulfilled in order to ensure that internal and external events are pro-
cessed correctly. The following sections describe the limit values for both types of events.
Minimum number of count pulses between internal events
A certain minimum number of count pulses must be ensured between the parameters when setting
Upper count limit, Reference value and Lower limit value.
This ensures that internal operations are carried out before a new event occurs.
Illustration of the minimum number of count pulses between two events in relation to the counter
frequency:
f = Counter frequency in Hz

50 kHz 500 pulses
10 kHz 100 pulses
