Hi,
there are numerous examples which you can find at this path: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\examples\daq\counter

or Goto Find examples in Labview launching Panel -> Hardware Input and Output -> DAQ -> Counters

If you are using DAQ card, Goto ->Count buffered edges or count Edges.

Hope this works. Your feedbacks are welcome.

Best Regards,

Thanks for that, but that was also my first idea. Unfortunaly there is no
example for an DOWN counter in that directory. they all count up.
i want to count incoming a ttl-pulse-train and terminate that train(by
dio-line) when
counted exactly a certain number of counts. if i check the counts (600Hz)
each time by software, there seems to be no chance to terminate the train
at the desired number of pulses and thatfore i will have to use the daq card
on board counter. and my idea is, that a down counter (which is specified in
the
manual) would do it.
my question therefore is, if anyone has ever used a DOWN counter, because
i have no idea how to realise it/how to use the daq-included down-counter
vi, which
i don´t realy understood

i am thankful for any reply!
bes
t regards,
holger

Hi Holger,

I have to confess that I was puzzled re:your original post. Now that I have some more info I suggest you take a look at the VI that can be found at

Data Acquisition>>>Counter>>>Intermediate Conter>>>Down Counter or divider Config.VI

It looks like what you are asking for.

Trying to help,

Ben
