I thought the Counter class was for counting pulses. The device you linked to provides only analog or PWM output of absolute angular position.

from the datasheet:
Analog output provides an analog voltage that is proportional to the absolute
shaft position. Analog output is only available in 10-bit resolution.

PWM output provides a pulse width duty cycle that is proportional to the absolute
shaft position.
