Question:
I have connected supply voltage and reset to my EA 6110-13EA counter and am trying to count pulses with my function generator. But the display only shows some numbers. The reset does not work either. Should I send you the part?

Answer:
I don't think that's necessary. Put pin 9 (store) on VSS (pin 2), then the counter will work. Due to an internal pull-up resistor, the display memory is always activated; It counts in the background, but you just don't see it. The reset also only runs in the background.
