Counter
Applicable to library's version 1.0
The Counter component adds up the number of rising edges received on the In slot. The counting direction in the component may be set upwards or downwards, and counting steps are set by integer values. If needed, the starting value may be set for the component (for example, counting starts at 100 and goes down every rising edge; 0 is not a threshold).
