NI 9401 running multiple Large Range with 2 counters

I'm using a NI 9401 to measure two counter flow meters, which operate anywhere from 2kHz to 20kHz. I'm using Large Range, but would like to use just 1 NI 9401. My understanding is ctr 0 is paired with ctr 1, and ctr 2 paired with ctr 3? Well anyways the error is that the resource is reserved when starting the task. Is running two counters of this type possible on a NI 9401?

 

Thanks

ReliabilityMan, it looks like you're using the same module with two different tasks, one of which is reserving the hardware when the second tries to request it. I believe it should be possible, let me try and find some good examples for you. Any more context you can provide for your application would be useful as well.

Complete error in my answer... Thought that was another topic.
Please delete if possible.
