How to count how many times a state is visited?

I want to count how many times a state is visited within Stateflow. I would like it to have a counter so if it gets visited 10 times it goes to a fault condition. It needs to be able to handle visiting in between states.

For example if it goes from state A -> B -> A the counter for A would be 2.

I've looked at count, before and temporalCount and none seem to act as desired.

Write the following inside state A:

en:
counter = counter + 1;

and initialise counter = 0. The counter will be incremented only when state A is entered, hence the 'en' command.

Ah yes. I needed it as a local variable. Thank you :)
