+What:		/sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY
+KernelVersion:	4.16
+Contact:	linux-iio@...r.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Count data of Count Y. This is a signed integer value that
+		represents the position. Typically, this is determined by
+		hardware evaluation of the quadrature encoding input signals.
+
+What:		/sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY_direction
+KernelVersion:	4.16
+Contact:	linux-iio@...r.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Count direction of Count Y. Typically, this is determined by
+		hardware evaluation of the quadrature encoding input signals.
+		Two count directions are available: forward and backward.
+
+What:		/sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY_function
+KernelVersion:	4.16
+Contact:	linux-iio@...r.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Count function mode of Count Y. Count function evaluation is
+		triggered by conditions specified by the countY_signalZ_action
+		attributes. Four count function modes are available:
+		pulse-direction, quadrature x1, quadrature x2, quadrature x4.
+
+		Pulse-Direction:
+			Rising edges on quadrature pair signal A updates the
+			respective count. The input level of quadrature pair
+			signal B determines direction.
+
+		Quadrature x1:
+			If direction is forward, rising edges on quadrature pair
+			signal A updates the respective count; if the direction
+			is backward, falling edges on quadrature pair signal A
+			updates the respective count. Quadrature encoding
+			determines the direction.
+
+		Quadrature x2:
+			Any state transition on quadrature pair signal A updates
+			the respective count. Quadrature encoding determines the
+			direction.
+
+		Quadrature x4:
+			Any state transition on either quadrature pair signals
+			updates	the respective count. Quadrature encoding
+			determines the direction.
+
+What:		/sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/countY_signalZ_action
+KernelVersion:	4.16
+Contact:	linux-iio@...r.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Action mode of Count Y for Signal Z. This attribute indicates
+		the condition of Signal Z that triggers the count function
+		evaluation for Count Y. Four action modes are available: none,
+		rising edge, falling edge, and both edges.
+
+		None:
+			Signal does not trigger the count function. In
+			Pulse-Direction count function mode, this Signal is
+			evaluated as Direction.
+
+		Rising Edge:
+			Low state transitions to High state.
+
+		Falling Edge:
+			High state transitions to Low state.
+
+		Both Edges:
+			Any state transition.
+
+What:		/sys/bus/counter/devices/counterX/signalY
+KernelVersion:	4.16
+Contact:	linux-iio@...r.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Signal data of Signal Y. This is the respective input level
+		represented by two available states: low and high.
