 The first application we used the Pulse Generator was a Coolant control base on a stepper driver.
-=== Pulse Generator settings in User Widget ===
-We added Pulse generator settings to a User Widget of "1280M5" profile. We are going to test it and distribute these settings for other profiles and other applications as well later.

-The code contains 3 parts
-  * the widget label set up
-  * the frequency setup
-  * the Ratio set up
-It's supposed operator no need to change frequency acceleration and this setting is hidden from an  operator.
-The acceleration can be set up in the Software or Hardware PLC for example.
 === Pulse Generator settings in the Software PLC ===
 The rate, ratio and acceleration can be set up in the Software PLC as well.
