Counter input connection

ASIAN INSTITUE · ‎03-23-2007

Hi all,

I had DAQ- PCI6259 that connected with Board SCB-68. Now, I want to connect a photosensor with it that can count the number of pulse.

The DAQ has two port for Counter , CTR0- CTR1. However, I do not know which pins should i connect pins for CTR0.

In the SCB-68 , it has some pins relating to CTR0.

Pin2- GPCTR0_OUT

Pin36- DGND

Pin3-PF19/GPCTR0_GATE

Pin37-PF18/GPCTR0_SOURCE.

Which pin should I use for inputs.How to connect 2 lines of the output of the sensor to the CTR0.

Thanks

.

For normal Pulse counting, connect the high side of your signal to the Source terminal of the counter and the low side to the DGnd.

All of this information can be found in the DAQ Device documentation that gets installed with the DAQ driver and can be found in the NI-DAQ folder in the National Instruments, Start Menu folder.
