The NI 1427, NI 1429, NI 1433, and NI 1435 can generate a maximum of 3 pulses.

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for the reply.

When I wrote the previous post, I took a stab at the timing.  If the software timing could hit 0.5 mSec then we're definately good.

I understand from your post that we can't hit that.

Okay, now I'll have to sharpen my pencil and see what works.

Do you have an idea of how fast we can get a hardware signal output when we trigger that in software?

Said another way, in a VI, when I send a 'go high' pulse to the DAQ card, how long before the pin actually goes high?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

There is no benchmark for sending a signal in software and the time it takes to reach the hardware. This is because it is dependent on a number of factors such as how fast your processor is, the amount of processes running and other computer hardware considerations. If you wanted something to happen in software timed with a measurable amount of jitter, you would need to move to a Real-Time Operating System.
