How to count the times of change painting nozzle?

I set a setup time in "color_A" as the wait time for changing colors (change painting nozzle), and I'm currently trying to count the times of change painting nozzle.

I would like to know how to set it up. I have attached a model of what I have.

Thank you for your advance.

Hi @Wei_cheng Chiu,

I have added the following code into the color_A processor in the model you shared. It will update a label called change on the processor everytime there is a changeover.

if (duration == case1) {
current.labels["Change"].value+=1;
}

I am also including the updated model for you to look at.
