/*
    UL call demonstrated:       	  ulCInScan()

    Purpose:                          Performs a continuous scan of the
                                      first supported event counter channel

    Demonstration:                    Displays the event counter data for
    								  the first supported event counter

    Steps:
    1. Call ulGetDaqDeviceInventory() to get the list of available DAQ devices
    2. Call ulCreateDaqDevice() to to get a handle for the first DAQ device
    3. Verify the DAQ device has an counter input subsystem
    4. Verify the counter input subsystem has a hardware pacer
    5. Call ulConnectDaqDevice() to establish a UL connection to the DAQ device
    6. Call ulCInScan() to start the scan of A/D input channels
    7. Call ulCInScanStatus() to check the status of the background operation
    8. Display the data for each channel
    9. Call ulCInScanStop() to stop the background operation
    10. Call ulDisconnectDaqDevice() and ulReleaseDaqDevice() before exiting the process.
