Values description

CounterIdle: The counter is disabled. To enable the counter, perform a counter reset.

CounterTriggerWait: The counter is waiting to be started by a trigger on CounterTriggerSource or by the CounterReset command.

CounterActive: The counter is counting for the specified CounterDuration.

CounterCompleted: The counter has reached the CounterDuration count and is disabled. To enable the counter again, perform a counter reset.

CounterOverflow: The counter has reached its maximum possible count.

Code example

C++

// Before accessing CounterStatus, make sure CounterSelector is set correctly
// Set CounterSelector to "Counter0"
nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("CounterSelector")->SetCurrentEntry("Counter0");
// Determine the current entry of CounterStatus
std::string value = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("CounterStatus")->CurrentEntry()->SymbolicValue();
// Get a list of all available entries of CounterStatus
auto allEntries = nodeMapRemoteDevice->FindNode<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationNode>("CounterStatus")->Entries();
std::vector<std::shared_ptr<peak::core::nodes::EnumerationEntryNode>> availableEntries;
for(const auto & entry : allEntries)
{
  if ((entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotAvailable)
          && (entry->AccessStatus()!=peak::core::nodes::NodeAccessStatus::NotImplemented))
  {
      availableEntries.emplace_back(entry);
  }
}
