An accurate way to calibrate a frequency source is to use a high-resolution counter/timer to measure the beat frequency, or phase difference, between the source to be calibrated and a reference such ...

Counter/timer hardware is a crucial component of most embedded systems. In some cases a timer is needed to measure elapsed time; in others we want to count or time some external events. Here's a ...

The PMC424 combines 40 I/O lines for TTL and differential signals with four 16-bit counter/timers and the PMC464 provides 64 TTL I/O lines plus four 16-bit timer/counters whose TTL- compatible ...

A timer is a simple counter! The input clock of microcontroller and operation of the timer is independent of the program execution.All the Atmel microcontrollers have Timers as an inbuilt peripheral.

As workhorse testbench instruments go, frequency counters/timers are right up there with the most frequently used pieces of gear. They see application in a very broad range of design/debug ...

As the latest in the vendor’s BusWorks line of high-density Ethernet I/O modules for distributed I/O and SCADA, Model 989EN isolated discrete I/O also perform counter/timer functions. These inch-wide ...

Self-contained machines such as fryers for fast-food restaurants, cook-and-hold ovens, and bakery equipment usually employ a simple automatic controller. A typical controller includes one or more ...
