Newbie counter question

I am new to the world of LabView and sure could use a bit of advice. I'm
trying to read two counters simultaneously on my PCI E series DAQ card. I can
read them one at a time, but never both. I'm using the advanced DAQ VI's to
get where I am so far. It seems to me that the Group Config VI should read
two counters if the counter list string is "0,1", but I've had no luck. What
am I over looking?

TIA

Grouping counters in this manner on an E Series card is not supported by the
driver for this hardware and should generate an error. If you're not getting an
error, then you're probably not being diligent in wiring your error inputs and
outputs through to an error handler VI! Remembering to do this can save hours of
debugging time.

There are some ways to get around the problem; check out this KnowledgeBase entry
for more info:
