**Counters** track the reading of a device such as a laser machine. They're available for clinics with the dermatology specialty.

Go to **Settings → Processes → Counters** and click **New**:

Enter the **Name**, the **Initial Counter** (the device's current reading), the **Branch** and the **Room** where the device is. The initial reading can't be changed later.

## 🔁 How readings are recorded

1. In **Settings → Procedures and Prices**, turn on **Pulses / Sessions** and **Require Counter** for the procedures that use the device.
2. When a session of that procedure is recorded, choose the **Counter** (filled in from the appointment's room) and confirm the **Final Counter**. The counter increases by the pulses used.

Open a counter to see its **Counter Logs**. Use **Edit** next to the reading to correct it; the correction is recorded as a manual entry.
