+Description:
+               Count data of Count Y. This is a signed integer value that
+               represents the position. Typically, this is determined by
+               hardware evaluation of the quadrature encoding input signals.

+Description:
+               Count direction of Count Y. Typically, this is determined by
+               hardware evaluation of the quadrature encoding input signals.
+               Two count directions are available: forward and backward.

+Description:
+               Count function mode of Count Y. Count function evaluation is
+               triggered by conditions specified by the countY_signalZ_action
+               attributes. Four count function modes are available:
+               pulse-direction, quadrature x1, quadrature x2, quadrature x4.
+
+               Pulse-Direction:
+                       Rising edges on quadrature pair signal A updates the
+                       respective count. The input level of quadrature pair
+                       signal B determines direction.
+
+               Quadrature x1:
+                       If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair
+                       signal A updates the respective count; if the direction
+                       is backward, falling edges on quadrature pair signal A
+                       updates the respective count. Quadrature encoding
+                       determines the direction.
+
+               Quadrature x2:
+                       Any state transition on quadrature pair signal A updates
+                       the respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the
+                       direction.
+
+               Quadrature x4:
+                       Any state transition on either quadrature pair signals
+                       updates the respective count. Quadrature encoding
+                       determines the direction.

+Description:
+               Action mode of Count Y for Signal Z. This attribute indicates
+               the condition of Signal Z that triggers the count function
+               evaluation for Count Y. Four action modes are available: none,
+               rising edge, falling edge, and both edges.
+
+               None:
+                       Signal does not trigger the count function. In
+                       Pulse-Direction count function mode, this Signal is
+                       evaluated as Direction.
+
+               Rising Edge:
+                       Low state transitions to High state.
+
+               Falling Edge:
+                       High state transitions to Low state.
+
+               Both Edges:
+                       Any state transition.

+Description:
+               Signal data of Signal Y. This is the respective input level
