Inconsistent pulse counter behaviour with XC42
I do not know if this is a bug in the simulator or different firmware behaviour as I don't have the actual hardware to test on yet
If I put a pulse counter on an MC42 and increase with 1 each cycle it will show as 1,2,3 etc in the simulator when Accumulate=Yes
If I point with the mouse pointer the popup shows similar values in both fields
The application seems to use the accumulated value as expected
If I put a pulse counter on an XC42 and increase with 1 each cycle it will show as 1,1,1 etc in the simulator when Accumulate=Yes
If I point with the mouse pointer the popup shows both the incremented and accumulated value
The application seems to use the incremented value
In both tests I have the setting "Full Value Range=Off".
If I turn it on XC42 behaviour changes.

Looks like a problem with how IQANsimulate handes PCNT/DPCNT on XC4x.
Bug.
