Clearing daqmx read value

[KY Wildcat]

Hello,

When doing a single sample counter read using DAQmx in a while loop, is there any way to reset the data output on the DAQmx read task? For instance, say the value is 200, is there any way I can keep the task open and running and reset it to read zero?

Thanks,

David Joseph

Hi KY

There isn't a property or method in DAQmx for setting or resetting the count value when a task is running. You need to Stop and Start the task again. Otherwise, you can

create your counter in software. If you wire the counter output to an indicator, you can then create a local variable and create the logic that will

programmatically reset its value, e.g. when it exceeds 200.
