Measuring PWM input signals

Is there a way to read PWM input signals? We never got our FIRST provided accelerometer, and the one from last year works rather crappily... so we're experimenting with other ones. One I found has a PWM output signal, but I can't figure out what I should use to measure the signal appropriately. I have a feeling its in the counter object, but I'm not quite sure..

Thanks!
