How do you programically reset an FP-CTR-502 module?

[Fridge]

I am using a FP-CTR-502 counter to count pulses from an encoder. I am confused as to how to reset the counter from my program. I am using Labwindows/CVI.

The method for reseting the FP-CTR-50X module will vary depending upon which communications methods you are using. If you are using the FieldPoint Explorer/MAX interface functions (as opposed to the ethernet only method), you need to create additional channels for the FP-CTR-50X module. Go into FieldPoint in MAX/FieldPoint Explorer and browse to the FP-CTR-502. Select Edit This Device, then select Channel Configuration. For each channel that you want to be able to reset, select the channel (via the checkbox) and click the Create Item button under the Command selection. This will create an item named "Control @Ch0". Then you can use the FP Write function to write a 0 (No Operation), 1 (Reset) or 2 (increment).

If you are using the ethernet only means, you will
use a similiar method, but you will need to browse to the command element under the channel selection.
