simultaneous counter output input

Hello,

 

I am working with a light detection device called and Avalance Photo Diode, which emits a single TTL pulse for every photon detected. A gate signal sets the frequency that the photon count is reported. I am trying to write a program that--via an M-series USB-6229--simultaneously sets the gate frequency of the APD's gate and counts the device's output pulses.

 

My plan was/is to use one of the counters to generate a continuous pulse train for the gate signal (~1K Hz), and the second counter to count the rising edges emitted. However, my current program quickly falls on it's face; and I am having trouble understanding the error messages.

 

If someone could look over my program and offer advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Ryan
