(p. 356)
An example of a pulse sensor connection is illustrated in figure
Pulse-Input
Wiring Example — Anemometer Switch
(p. 70).
Pulse sensors have two active
wires, one of which is ground. Connect the ground wire to a (signal ground)
terminal. Connect the other wire to a
P
terminal. Sometimes the sensor will
require power from the CR1000, so there may be two power wires — one of
which will be power ground. Connect power ground to a
G
terminal. Do not
confuse the pulse wire with the positive-power wire, or damage to the sensor or
CR1000 may result. Some switch-closure sensors may require a pull-up resistor.

The CR1000 can measure the period of an analog signal.
Numbered
SE
terminals are configurable for period average:
•
Voltage gain: 1, 10, 33, 100
•
Maximum frequency: 200 kHz
•
Resolution: 136 ns
Note
Both pulse-count and period-average measurements are used to measure
frequency output sensors. Yet pulse-count and period-average measurement
methods are different. Pulse-count measurements use dedicated hardware — pulse
count accumulators, which are always monitoring the input signal, even when the
CR1000 is between program scans. In contrast, period-average measurement
instructions only monitor the input signal during a program scan. Consequently,
pulse-count scans can usually be much less frequent than period-average scans.
Pulse counters may be more susceptible to low-frequency noise because they are
