Input Count Division
The tachometer can be programmed to divide the input signal. For example if a
signal is coming in at 100 counts per second, the tachometer can be set to look at
only every 10th count for a result of 10 counts per second.
Holdoff Time
The tachometer can be programmed to wait for a specified period of time between
counts that it will detect. After a count is detected, subsequent counts will be
ignored until the holdoff time has passed.
