Description

Plugin opcode in counter.

Create a counter object.

Syntax

icnt cntCreate [imax, imin, inc]

Initialization

imax -- optional maximum value for the counter, defaulting to 1.

imin -- optional minimun value for the counter, defaulting to 0.

inc -- optional increment for the counter, defaulting to 1.

icnt -- a handle for the counter.

Performance

Creates a counter object which loops between imin and imax in steps of inc. Used without an argument, using the defaults creates a flip-flop.

Examples

Here is an example of the cndCreate opcode. It uses the file counter.csd.
