Looking at output counter signal

Hello,

 

I am using the NI 6132 multifunction daq card and am outputting a continous pulse out of my counter0 out pin.  I would like to somehow monitor what Im actually outputting..Ive tried sending the output of the counter back into an analogue input of the card and ive also tried a PFI input but have had no success...any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi Agi,

 

Your application sounds very interesting, you wont be able to read in a counter from an analogue input so to start with wire the Ctr0 Ouput (Pin2) to PFI3 (Pin42). This will allow you to read in a pulse train generated on Ctr0 from Ctr1.

 

Please let me know how you get on with this.
