how do you generate a pulse train while a counters gate is high?

[JD2]

I am using a NI 6025E/Traditional DAQ/C++  and would like to generate a pulse train on counter 1

while it's gate signal is high. Does anybody have any example code or know which function calls

to use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi JD,

A good example that will help get you started is STCgenerateSquareWave.C.  This example is located in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\VisualC\Ctr.  I also found a tutorial about counters that you may find useful.  Here is the link: Generating a pulse train with a counter.

A function that could help you with this application is the GPCTR_Change_Parameter function. Further details about the function can be found in the Traditional DAQ C Function Reference Help.  This is located in Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>NI-DAQ. 

I hope this information helps you with your application.
