What: /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/count_mode
KernelVersion: 5.2
Contact: [email protected]
Description:
Count mode for channel Y. The ceiling and floor values for
Count Y are used by the count mode where required. The following
count modes are available:
normal:
Counting is continuous in either direction.
range limit:
An upper or lower limit is set, mimicking limit switches
in the mechanical counterpart. The upper limit is set to
the Count Y ceiling value, while the lower limit is set
to the Count Y floor value. The counter freezes at
count = ceiling when counting up, and at count = floor
when counting down. At either of these limits, the
counting is resumed only when the count direction is
reversed.
non-recycle:
The counter is disabled whenever a counter overflow or
underflow takes place. The counter is re-enabled when a
new count value is loaded to the counter via a preset
operation or direct write.
modulo-n:
A count value boundary is set between the Count Y floor
value and the Count Y ceiling value. The counter is
reset to the Count Y floor value at count = ceiling when
counting up, while the counter is set to the Count Y
ceiling value at count = floor when counting down; the
counter does not freeze at the boundary points, but
counts continuously throughout.
interrupt on terminal count:
The output signal is initially low, and will remain low
until the counter reaches zero. The output signal then
goes high and remains high until a new preset value is
set.
hardware retriggerable one-shot:
The output signal is initially high. The output signal
will go low by a trigger input signal, and will remain
low until the counter reaches zero. The output will then
go high and remain high until the next trigger. A
trigger results in loading the counter to the preset
value and setting the output signal low, thus starting
the one-shot pulse.
rate generator:
The output signal is initially high. When the counter
has decremented to 1, the output signal goes low for one
clock pulse. The output signal then goes high again, the
counter is reloaded to the preset value, and the process
repeats in a periodic manner as such.
square wave mode:
The output signal is initially high.
If the initial count is even, the counter is decremented
by two on succeeding clock pulses. When the count
expires, the output signal changes value and the
counter is reloaded to the preset value. The process
repeats in periodic manner as such.
If the initial count is odd, the initial count minus one
(an even number) is loaded and then is decremented by
two on succeeding clock pulses. One clock pulse after
the count expires, the output signal goes low and the
counter is reloaded to the preset value minus one.
Succeeding clock pulses decrement the count by two. When
the count expires, the output goes high again and the
counter is reloaded to the preset value minus one. The
process repeats in a periodic manner as such.
software triggered strobe:
The output signal is initially high. When the count
expires, the output will go low for one clock pulse and
then go high again. The counting sequence is "triggered"
by setting the preset value.
hardware triggered strobe:
The output signal is initially high. Counting is started
by a trigger input signal. When the count expires, the
output signal will go low for one clock pulse and then
go high again. A trigger results in loading the counter
to the preset value.

What: /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/direction
KernelVersion: 5.2
Contact: [email protected]
Description:
Read-only attribute that indicates the count direction of Count
Y. Two count directions are available: forward and backward.
Some counter devices are able to determine the direction of
their counting. For example, quadrature encoding counters can
determine the direction of movement by evaluating the leading
phase of the respective A and B quadrature encoding signals.
This attribute exposes such count directions.
What: /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/enable
KernelVersion: 5.2
Contact: [email protected]
Description:

boolean.
This attribute is intended to serve as a pause/unpause mechanism
for Count Y. Suppose a counter device is used to count the total
movement of a conveyor belt: this attribute allows an operator
to temporarily pause the counter, service the conveyor belt,
and then finally unpause the counter to continue where it had
left off.

signal B updates the respective count; if the direction
is backward, falling edges on quadrature pair signal B

the respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the
direction.

Any state transition on quadrature pair signal B updates
the respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the
direction.

Any state transition on either quadrature pair signals
updates the respective count. Quadrature encoding
