Serial write triggered via digital pulse

Hi,
 
I'm not sure if there is such a thing in CVI, perform a serial write based on a hardware-based-counter digital pulse. For example, I have a digital pulse train that outputs a pulse every 1 second. At the same time, I would like the serial port to output a serial message at the same time. I wonder if there is such a feature in CVI library. If there is none, can kindly suggest how to achieve the above-mentioned? Thanks!

Hi,

Serial board do not have any timing and triggering comapatibilities. You won't be able to do as you describe in your post, however you can write in a loop and put a wait for one second for each loop iteration.

Thanks,
