This sample program sets up the counter to make 10 frequency measurements on channel 1 and displays the results in two formats.

Date: April 2005

This program sets up the counter to make 10 frequency measurements on channel 1, using a 0.1 second gate time. The results are displayed in two different ways:

- In a "Measured frequency" display showing the current measurement result.

- In a "Measured frequencies" display showing content of the DataLogging object containing all the measurement results.

Please make sure that you do have a real signal at the channel 1 input port otherwise you will gate an error message.
