How to set the output counter channel to generate a pulsed signal using DAQ6008

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello there I am trying to generate a pulsed signal of 100Hz with a 20% duty cycle from the DAQ 6008 using visual studio 2013. I have the code that should generate this but I am unsure on how to set the output counter channel. When I run this in NI MMAX and my vb code the error says that the physical channel is not supported. I am a first time user of the DAQ and would appreciate any help offered.

If you look at the USB-6008/6009 User Guide and Specifications, you will see that the counter in those devices can only count input edges. It cannot generate a pulse.
