[ts-7000] Counters in hardware?

I have an application that needs to count pulses coming in from two electricity 
meters.  The 
pulses are about 10mSec, so it would be (barely) possible to watch for them in 
a program, 
but I am worried about missing pulses when the system load is non-zero.

It would seem better to use a hardware counter, and read it every minute or so. 
 Searching 
the list, Peter Elliott mentioned TS-XDIO.  This seems to be a feature of the 
7260 only, and 
having read the manual, I am still not clear if it does what I want.  Our 
standard platform is 
the 7250, although I have used a 7260 in one instance.

I need *two* counters, of minimum 8 bits, preferably more, that can be read and 
reset by 
software.  I want to avoid external hardware.  Do I need to read the 7260 
manual even more 
slowly?

Or is this something I should ask Technologic to do within the FPGA?  Or hire 
someone else 
to write some FPGA configuration?

I don't really understand my options here - please be gentle with me!
