# 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

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.tillit.cloud/tillit/knowledge-base/setting-up-tillit/edge/tillit-sensors/configure-dx80n9x6s-pm8-for-counting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
