This block programs the AMD9513A for capturing PWM signals by using two counters. One counter measures the cycle duration, and the other counter measures the duration the signal is high.
There are two outputs. One output is the relative frequency compared to the base frequency. The other output is the duty cycle. To get the actual frequency, multiply the base frequency by the relative frequency.
The PWM signal has to enter the pins named GATE of both corresponding counter channels (parallel wiring). Both CLK pins have to be left unconnected.

Driver Block Parameters
Counter -- From the list, choose 1&2, 2&3, 3&4, 4&5. This selects which two counters the driver block uses to determine the PWM. In each case, one block is needed for each counter.
Frequency base -- From the list, choose F1=1MHz, F2=100kHz, F3=10kHz, F4=1kHz, or F5=100Hz to set the base frequency. The XTAL frequency is assumed to be 1MHz, therefore the jumper on the CIO-CTR05 has to be in position 1MHz not 5MHz.
Sample time -- Enter the base sample time or a multiple of the base sample time. The sample time indicates the update rate of registration on the input (Duty Cycle)
Base address -- Enter the base address of the board. This entry must corresponds to the DIP-switch settings on the board. For example, if the base address is 300 (hexadecimal), enter
