FAQs
- Q: What’s the difference between digital and electromechanical pulse counters?
A: Digital counters use solid-state circuitry for high-speed counting and programmable control, while electromechanical models use an electromagnetic stepping mechanism for permanent, mechanical readout. - Q: Can digital counters be reset remotely?
A: Yes — most digital pulse counters include remote reset inputs or programmable control terminals for integration into automation systems.
