Count Events using a trigger

[Mili]

Problem Description :
I presently have a DAQ-STC board for data Acquisition purposes.
What I wish to do is:

1. Count number of TTL pulses coming say from a signal generator at 2MHz
frequency.
2. I want to gate this with 1K pulses such that I want the count of the source TTL pulses between 2 gating edges and reset the count at the 2nd edge after the
send the count out
3. I want to buffer this count to the computer.



Please address these topics and give me an example of the code i will have to write if possible.
Many Thanks!

Hi,

The application that you describe is commonly referred to as buffered period measurement. Programming examples featuring this functionality are shipped with NI-DAQ for each development example. For example, in LabVIEW, you can find the example by browsing to: Help>>Search Example>>I/O Interfaces>>Data Acquisition>>Counters. For LabWindows/CVI, these examples can be found by browsing to the cvi/samples/daq/counters folder.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Erin

hi erin ,

 is there no predefined counter vi that can do the same function of counting the number of pulses between 2 events ?
