setup counter gate input in CVI

[ebalci]

Hi,

I have a PXI-6733 board and I want to make a gated edge counting using CVI.

I managed to make it count the edges but I cannot make the counting pause and resume from the gate input.

I feed 200 pulses to the source input and a (simultaneous) wider pulse to cover all or some of the 200 pulses to the gate input.

No matter how I change the gate pulse the counter always gives me 200, even if a do not connect the gate signal at all!

I went through the DAQmx and hadware documentation a few times but I could not find hoe I am going to "enable" the gate input so that counting is active only when the gate input is high.

Can anybody help me achieving this considering in mind that I will be coding it in CVI.

Regards,
