-Use this if the source of your lag is being **counted** or **totalised** instead of being measured as a **rate**. Note that in many industrial applications, field-based counters or totalisers are more accurate that performing calculations on rates.+Use this if the source of your lag is being **counted** or **totalised** instead of being measured as a **rate**.

 For example, you might have a conveyor system measuring how many meters you've moved. If Sensor X is 50m away from Sensor Y, you can calculate the //time lag// between Y and X by going backwards and finding out how long it took for 50m of conveyor to pass. For example, you might have a conveyor system measuring how many meters you've moved.
