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. + +What: /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/count_mode_available +What: /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/error_noise_available +What: /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/function_available +What: /sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY/signalZ_action_available +KernelVersion: 5.2 +Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org +Description: + Discrete set of available values for the respective Count Y + configuration are listed in this file.
