cFP-CTR-500 32 bit Cascaded Counter

I have a cFP-CTR-500 with unused counter inputs and need to count pulses from an encoder for more than 16 bits.  (I'm currently using counter inputs 0 and 1 to measure frequency of the encoder.)  Is there a way to cascade the counters to create a 32 bit counter?  I found Cascade Counter Example.vi but am having difficulty converting the concept from FieldPoint.  (I'm not familiar with FP)   I also need the cascaded counters to be resettable.  I'm under a very tight schedule so example code to import into my project would be much appreciated.  I'm using LV 2011 but can upgrade to 2012.

 

Thanks,

 

DJ

Simple search turned up this.  Should work for the cFP-CTR-500 as well.
