Well, this is going to get a bit confusing, but get ready.

First you are going to want whatever it is the items are going through (People,pipes,minecarts,ect.) and connect a pressure plate (Redstone tube, cart detector, Item Detector, ect.) to a wire. Then, you are going to need to place your counter down so that the wire is connected to the + side. Now, set the increment to 1 and the max number to any number you like. Now, set the decrement to the same number as the max number. After that, you need to connect a wire to the side with the redstone torch that is OFF. Connect that to a NOT gate which connects to anything that is controling the item flow. (Like redstone engines or redstone pneumatic tubes)

If you want to set it so I will count items again, you just need to connect a lever to the side with the - symbol. And there you go! If you wanted to make something which counts the items without stopping (Unless you turn it off) then see the Counter.
