# Configure DX80N9X6S-PM8 for counting

Out of the box, DX80N9X6S-PM8 sensors are only configured to show as an on/off signal and not a count. To create a count, we will configure the gateway to monitor the on/off signal and have it create a counter.

### You will need

* DXM Configuration Software - <https://info.bannerengineering.com/cs/groups/public/documents/software/b_4496867.exe>
* Ethernet connection to the Gateway

### Steps

1. Open the DXM Configuration Software and connect to the DXM gateway.

2. Load the DXM config in the toolbar using DXM > Get Configuration
3. Navigate to Local Registers > Action Rules > Trackers

4. Here, we configure a tracker to watch the Register that signal on/off and record the number of times this happens in a Result Register. Input 1 of each node is the ***1 + (NodeID x 16)***

5. Now save this configuration to the DXM using the toolbar menu at the top of the screen. DXM > Send XML Configuration to DXM

6. Observe that the registers are counting by navigating to Tools > Register View. Read from register 100 and see that the count value is present
