Abstract
A pulse input device has a standard time generator for outputting standard time information by counting a system clock signal; an input circuit for sampling input signal information from a plurality of channels in synchronization with the standard time information at a predetermined period; a memory for storing the input signal information sampled by the input circuit; a command memory for storing a plurality of instruction commands; and a controller for scanning the instruction commands stored in the command memory to successively execute the instruction commands, for repeating the scanning operation of the instruction commands, and for controlling operations of the device. The controller outputs a designation signal having a period of a predetermined time for designating an execution starting time obtained by counting the system clock signals, so that the period of the execution starting time for each of the instruction commands becomes a constant rate in the successive command scanning operation for successively executing each of the instruction commands in synchronization with the designation signal, and the period of the predetermined time is set based on the instruction command having the longest execution time.
