How to Monitor a Machine Pulse

[Bob1111]

Hello,

I have what is probably a stupid question, but I have been trying to figure this out with no solution.

What I have is a piece of equipment that provides a pulse every second to show that it is running, I am bringing the pulse into Dasylab and can see it pulsing using a "Status Display". 

My question is,  what is a easy way of monitoring the pulse so if it stops for more that a couple of seconds  I can display an error message and shut off other pieces of equipment.

I am using Dasylab ver10 Pro 

Thank You

If this is a continuos pulse, you can use the pulse analysis module and measure the frequency of the pulse.  After that you can trigger the output if it is outside a certain window of frequency.

The trigger will go into and action that will send the messaage

Or you can use a Sample trigger... if it stays TTL low for too many samples, trigger an error... note that it only outputs a pulse.
