That Get wire is the average Period (in seconds) between pulses.
Thank you.

I have a more general LabVIEW question if I may. Before I posted the above question, I tried for about half an hour to find the answer on the internet. Do you (or does anyone reading) know of a site where you could type, say, "Counter Config Timer" into a search box and it would display the LabVIEW help screen for that icon? I had no success with Google.
