Hi,
PCI 6601 adding timer
I am using PCI 6601 and am relatively new to labview so can anyone guide me through controlling it through labview.
I installed daqmx and setup a virtual device. Then I used read dig port given in the examples.. the values were hexadecimal and kept on increasing can’t they be restarted. I simulated for three ports but in the labview file only one was visible to monitor.
I want it to wait for an counter to stop after a given time and only then returns the final value of the counter.
Thanks,
Yatin.

Hi yatintyagi,
I understand that you are using the PCI-6601 and want to measure the readings in microseconds instead of milliseconds. This knowledge base might be helpful in order to do that, it explains how to implement a real time clock with your card. Also, in your current application you want to reset the counter values at some point. You can do so with an external digital pulse, but it is not possible to reset it internally. For more information on this refer to the following articles:
- Can I Reset a TIO Counter Internally Through Hardware?
- Can I Hardware Reset My TIO/STC II Counter with an External Digital Pulse?
I hope this is helpful; if not or if I misunderstood your questions, please post back.
