Counter Free-Running
Incremental counter with reset to zero after reaching the maximum value for the specified number of bits.
Description
The Counter Free-Running block counts until it reaches a maximum value equal to , where Nbits is the number of bits. Then the counter is reset to zero and starts increasing again.
Parameters
Sample time - interval between calculation steps
-1 (by default) | scalar
Specify the interval between calculation steps as a non-negative number. To inherit the calculation step, set this parameter to -1.

Number of Bits - number of bits
16 (by default) | scalar.
Specify the number of bits as a valid finite scalar. When you specify:
-
positive integer, such as
8, the block counts up to , that is,255. -
an unsigned integer expression, such as
UInt8(8), the block counts up to , that is,254.
