Im using the DAQ assist to look at counting input on my dev1 ctr3 line that goes to my counter/timer board.
Initially I was using edge count in a 10ms timed loop to count pulses. But I ran into some counting variations (i suppose this is because i am using the default 1khz clock that cannot always accurately stop the counter at 10ms)
next i tried using the frequency option on the daq assist and i specified a 10ms integration time. This seems to work much better to reduce counting error (as i am not relying on the 1khz system clock. This method however assumes that Im trying to look at phenomena that occur periodically. (my real use is to look at a stochastic process and count how many times it occurs in 10ms)
Is there anyway to specify that the board only counts for 10ms of integration time, and simply returns the number of counts it saw (rather than a frequency).
Thanks,
Adam
