WBK17, Counter/Encoder Module
PULSEWIDTH: OPT6: This allows the mapped channel’s pulsewidth to be measured instead of the
input channel. The mapped channel can be any other input channel (post debounce) or one of the detection
signals (on any channel). This option allows the counter to be used with any other input channel (post-
debounce), or with one of the detection signals. If the channel’s input is used elsewhere, for example,
gating another counter, the counter for this channel does not need to go unused.
Pulsewidth and Timing mode Accuracy
The WBK17 has the ability to measure the pulsewidth of an input and the time between any two edges on
any two inputs. The time ranges are similar to those shown for period mode except that averaging is not
available. The ranges given below reflect this.
