PCI 6221 counter clock source

Hello,

 

I am using PCI 6221 counter set as Linear encoder with external clock type setting.  I did try with Ctr1InternalOuput which shows in the 6221 manual but the VI it returns an error stating

 

Possible reason(s):

Specified route cannot be satisfied, because the hardware does not support it.

Property: SampClk.Src
Property: SampClk.ActiveEdge
Source Device: Dev2
Source Terminal: Ctr0InternalOutput

Task Name: _unnamedTask<24>

 

Is there any other alternative for Ctr1InternalOutput which can be used for external clock source that is routed in the card? My setup is similiar to https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-10831

 

Connected Ctr0 SRC -> PFI8

Ctr0 AUX ->PFI10

 

Thanks.

Ctr0InternalOutput or Ctr1InternalOutput?  The error message seems to indicate Ctr0InternalOutput.  If this isn't the issue you'll have to post your code.
