should do nicely if you dont input more than a 5khz or 5000 counts pulses per second  = cps

I would have thought you could get them much cheaper than that - I know there are RPM counters (tachometers) that are less expensive, but which probably don't have a trigger-on-count functionality.

Why not a basic TTL circuit or a micro?  A dollar or two in parts and you should be able to fully configure it, a 12 bit counter, a comparator on the input set to your signal level, and some and/not gates to select where to stop if you want it hardwired.  Also any old micro can do this in half a dozen lines of code, you just need a relay driver and whatever signal conditioning to get your input signal readable by a micro.

I knew it was going to be a bad idea to click on a subject that just says "Solved".

The whole thread should be deleted to prevent the time wasted playing "This is the answer, what was the question."

Yeah editing the question and removing the actual question isn't the best idea. It pretty much ruins the point of a forum.

I dunno, it's kind of like Jeopardy, we get the answer and have to guess the question.

But I'd still prefer to see the actual question, it might help someone in the future with a similar issue!

It's better than drinking on working days.

The original title "Ebay counters. Do You recommend one?" looked almost interesting, I should have clicked on it yesterday when it might have made sense. I still think the whole thread should be deleted, not just locked, because "testgear" has enough junk threads as it is.

Yes, please don't! or just stay off the forum fridays. Drink or forum, choose or I'll choose for you!

I think it's too much cold on Antarctica...

It would certainly keep the random crap noise level down.
