PCI-MIO-16E-1 counter frequency

[Suzie]

I require a counter that will count at a rate of at least 20 MHz. This was a design project for school, and is now being implemented in the business. Therefore, I need to know the specs of this DAQ card's counter, as it is different from the previously used one. Thanks a bunch!

Actually, the PCI-MIO-16E-1 has been renamed to PCI-6070E. The specifications for it can be found on the data sheet at the following link:

To answer your question, for Timing I/O the Maximum Source Frequency for Up/down counters/timers is 20 Mhz. Please also keep in mind that the minimum pulse duration is 20 ns.
