Totalizing counter
A counter which only adds up received pulses, but has no control functions.
Trailing signal
A bistable, freely variable range signal which “trails along” when the main preselection is changed.
Transmission ratio
In mechanical counters, the first number indicates the rotation of the counter shaft; the second number shows the count in…
Two’s complement
Number format for the representation of negative numbers; range of values at n bit: -(2n-1) … 0… (2n-1-1)
Sampling frequency
Number of signal periods per second. The maximum sampling frequency limits the speed of incremental measuring systems.
