PXIe-6612 Counter Card Example Code

[Adrian3036]

Hi All,

I have just taken delivery of a couple of 6612 Counter Cards and am having some problems getting them to work from my C code.

Has anybody got an example C code that covers setting up a task, clock, edges, etc then getting a count value out of a specific counter?

I believe that I am calling all the right functions to setup the above, each one returns 0 (no error) but when I try to start the task, I get an error code suggesting that the task is incorrectly configure.  I must be missing some important step?

Any code/advice/pearls of wisdom for these cards would be most welcome.

Cheers,

Adrian

Hey Adrian,

Would you be able to share the code that you have so far with us?

I'm no expert in c code, but the DAQmx API is comparable between c and LabVIEW so as a minimum it should be "create virtual channel, start, read, clear"

Best,

Jelmer
