Logic Counter/Shifter:

 The Logic Counter/Shifter can be found in the VIRTUAL view under Logic in the Processing section.  

The Counter/Shifter object is used to create conditional actions within the program. The outputs of the Counter/Shifter change in response to the input cycling from low to high.

The inputs from top to bottom are the logic source input.

The reset input.

The direction input.  

The Counter/Shifter object has no factory panel.  All parameters available for this object are found in the OPTIONS section of the PROPERTIES pane.  

The PROPERTIES pane includes the usual naming, workspace location, and DSP allocation settings.

The OPTIONS section contains the number of outputs and the type.

The object block has eight outputs by default but is selectable from one to thirty-two.  

The default type is Binary. In this mode, the outputs increment in binary fashion each time the input goes high or ON.  

In Binary mode, when the reset input is ON, all outputs are set to OFF.  

Setting the direction input ON causes the outputs to count down rather than up.

When set as Shift Down, the output that is high moves to the next output each time the input goes high. 

When the reset input is triggered, output one is set to ON with all other outputs OFF. 

Setting the direction input ON reverses the direction of the shift.
