TTL counter

[KCL64]

I have a dasylab 13 program that is taking measurements and sending TTL signals through a MC1208FS to a servo motor

that performs a jog forward or backward operation based off the data. The servo motors are 11 steps ahead of the measurment sensors in this application and

I would like install a counter where once the servo is triggered it starts a counter that counts 11 cycles before allowing the next servo adjustment to occure.

In dasylab 13 what options would be the best to perform this task.?

Thanks Kent.

I would use the Counter module with the rising edges as the option and cumulative count mode and per value Output.

Use a combi trigger to sart after thee 11 pulses and make sure to add an action module to reset the counter when 11 is reached so that it would start from 0 again

Thanks for the response Tom  ,Would you be able to throw together a quick worksheet example of what you mean.I'm finding the counter module

alot different than the usual PLC counters I'm used to. 

Thanks Kent

Here is a litle sample on how to use the combitation

Thanks Tom for the help.  Your example is spot on,my problem was that I didn't get the threshold set correctly in the combi trigger.
