Method for counting events following one another at short time intervals by means of electronic counting devices and corresponding counting devices

摘要

In this counting method, the counting is carried out in a number of counting cascades. So that a carry, occurring during a counting process in one of the counting cascades, for the next counting cascade following in each case does not need to be forwarded through possibly a number of counting cascades, this carry is initially temporarily stored and is only taken into consideration during the next counting process following. This restricts the counting cycle to the processing time of one counting cascade. At the end of a sequence of counting processes, the counting result is determined by taking into consideration any carries which are still temporarily stored. <IMAGE>
