How do I generate a digital pulse on a specified line?

Hello h@il,

Here is a screenshot of the Traditional NI-DAQ functions you need to use to use the 80 MHz timebase with "pulse" output behavior:



I hope this helps!

Best regards,

Hi guys,

I'm trying to generate arbitrary digital pulse signals using a DAQ card, which I believe is PCIe-6259. I can't get it done using the digital output function in SignalExpress, and the problem is I have to generate 30 different arbitrary digital output pulse train at the same time. Can anybody please give me any advice? Thanks in advance!

Hi Jerry,

We try to keep questions to one thread to help our customers better search our forums for answers.  I have responded to this question on your other forum thread.  It can be found here. Thank you!

Hello,

I think this belongs to this topic, so I will just go on here.

Following a simplified short version of my concern:

I have a very old stepper motor controller which makes one step movement, each time when I shorten two certain input wires (0V = logic true). If those are not shortened  I messure a voltage of 13 V between those.. 

Hardwareissue:

How can I use one of the Digital I/O ports of my NI PCI 6023e card to do a pulsed "shortening". I think the logic false (HIGH Voltage) of those Cards is 5 Volts. Will it give problems if I just hook it up to it? Or do I need to attach a resistor or something?

Softwareissue:

I need a pulserate about 100 Hz but I want to be able to change this frequency in real-time (10-100 Hz). 

We have Labview 7.1 here. I would like to avoid the DAQmx and use the traditional legacy. And I already have four of the eight Digital I/Os in use.

Thanks a lot

Ok, shall I start a new thread after all or did I fail to express my problem or are you just not knowing ? Whatever it is, it would really help me, if you say it. 🙂

Thanks
