Hello, With the option you have mentioned you can count the rising edges, falling edges or both edges coming. What you will need is a gated-count mode; you have to count IPBus clock ticks (depending on your clock frequency you have to divide it) while the secondary input is high. I don't know how to set it up in PE, but the DSP56F801-7UM, chapter 14 can be a great help to undestand the principle.
