measure frequency with 2 counters

Hello,

 

I'm measuring a digital frequency signal using a PXI-6602 module using the 'high frequency with 2 counters' method.  From the examples I have found, it seems that you specify only the counter which is doing the measuring and the measurement time.  How does LabVIEW know which counter is used to generate the HF pulse reference train, for example:

 

ctr 0 - measuring 200kHz signal

ctr 1 - generating  50kHz signal

 

Do I independently set up and start the ctr1 generation, and as log as it starts before the measurement commences, does LV then sort it all out without any other input?

 

Thanks

Dave

You should connect the signal (whose frequency needs to be measured) to Ctr-1, and there gonna be an internal connection between the output of the first counter and the gate of the second counter (as described here).
