Need help with Labview counters

Ok, so I have a counter focused on counting 14 ticks per revolution of the wheel. My problem is these ticks continue to accumulate as the match progresses. For example... If I start at 0 and run the wheel for 1 sec, I get 140 ticks in that time. Therefore I have spun the wheel 10 revolutions, then if I run the wheel again, the counter starts from 140. I am trying to adapt this counter to find RPM.... I have boiled it down to Delta Ticks over Delta time, the math is good and everything but I am having trouble putting it all together in labview. any help is appreciated! Thanks!
