DAQ counter output

[Thorsten24]

I want to give out a counter signal on a PCI 6025
I tried to do this with DAQmx.
I was able to realize such a signal, but thre is only the possibility (within the DAQ assistent) to give andless signal, or a adjustabke number of signal, or only one signal.
My problem is, when I use the endless signal, I cant do anything else on my simulation, it only makes the signal.
The same problem with the adjustable number of signal. I have to wait until these signals are given before I can to anything else.
With only one signal I have the problem that I takes time until my next signal is given out, and so the counter output is not continuous.

Anybody here who knows a solution?

Hi Thorsten24,

which developement enviroment do you use? LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio? Which version?

Generally the assistant locks your system for only one DAQ-application. If you want to do something else meanwhile (e.g. parallel pulsetrain generation and analog input) you have to program it by yourself using DAQmx without the assistant.
You can use the EXAMPLE FINDER to search suited examples for your needs. Take a look in the following folders:
DAQmx/counter/generate pulse
DAQmx/synchronization/multi-function
