Control Signal – Applies to model with control capability. RCA connectors on the control panel support commands in ASCII to start, pause and stop the unit from another source.

Cycle Counter  - Counter showing the number of actions targeted and the number of actions actually completed. Targeted number is a function of time and the rate at which the action is planned to proceed. Counters should be purchased with a range that will cover a complete shift or day's work.

Daisy Chain – Applies to daisy chain model. RCA connectors located on the control panel support daisy chaining of units allowing them to repeat the display of the master unit. Signal is recreated as it passes through each unit so that the number of units which can be daisy chained is essentially unlimited. On Interval Timers with daisy chain feature this is a digit driver signal every second and is not ASCII.  On Counters with daisy chain feature the signal is in ASCII allowing it to be picked up by a computer if desired.

Group Control - A group of units can be connected together so that when any unit pauses all units will pause, even though they are each running a different program.

Horn Configuration - Models with horns can be configured to sound at the beginning of each time interval (one sound for "A" interval, double sound for "B" interval, triple sound for "C" interval).  Additional configuration options are to sound at the end of the program or silence.

Interval Timer - A timer designed to show a series of intervals of time as programmed by the operator.
 
IR Defeat - When units are positioned close together (such as 40 feet apart) the setting of one unit can interfere with the operation of the neighboring unit.  Interference is avoided by fitting the station keypad with a defeat switch to deactivate the IR receiver until needed.

Light Operation - Stack lights and cluster lights can be operated in 3 different modes. The three-color lights can be lighted with a different color for each time period that is programmed. A single light can be turned on when ever the unit is paused (Pause Light). The light can be turned on when the actual count is less than the target count (Pace Light). The light can turn red, yellow or green depending on a percentage lag calculation by the software (Lag Software).

Memory - There are three positions available in memory to store frequently used programs. A fourth program can be entered and run but will be lost when a new program is entered or a stored program is recalled.

Pause – Occurs when a unit stops counting (pause) without exiting the program.  When pause is released, the program resumes counting from the pause point. Units are available with and without the pause function.

Programming - The entry of time periods into an Interval Timer or Cycle Counter to allow the unit to follow a specific sequence of periods.

Program Review - The ability to direct a Timer or Counter to display the program (the sequence of steps and times in a program). Recall method varies but all models include this capability.

Repeats Interval - Timers can be programmed to repeat individual intervals or entire programs up to 99 times. Programs can also be set for continuous repeat and will repeat until manually stopped.

Run Indicator - Some programs cause the display to show the same information for extended periods of time. To indicate that the program is running, a decimal will blink or the seconds count will be shown.

Station Keypad - Station keypads are wired to the 9-pin connector on the control panel and provide an interface for the operator other than the IR Remote Control. Station keypads have various uses such as to select and start/stop a program or to actuate the completion signal on a counter.

Target Reset - If a counter loses the actual count because of a power outage, count can be re-entered by the operator before resuming operation.

Time of Day - Time of day is set in the configuration mode and must be reset when the power has been off or disconnected.

Visibility - All timers and counters are designed to be indoor units. Although some are used outdoors the displays are not intended to compete with the sun for brightness. 2.3-inch digits can be comfortably read from 100 feet. 4-inch digits can be read from 160 feet.
