Dual Counter Functionality

Hi all,

I'm using a NI6602 card and VC++ 6.0. I was wondering if it was
possible to use a single counter to do two things? Specifically, I'd
like to use Counter 0 to both look for a pulse on Counter0.Source line
as well as measure the timeout period (i.e. count pulse only during a 20
millisecond period)... kind of like a buffered semiperiod measurement
using the internal source of Counter 0 to determine the gate width
without sending an external signal.

Thanks,

Scott

Scott;

Unfortunately, you will need to use two counters to perform both tasks.
