NI 9435 Sampling Period/Rate

[JGLStewart]

How do I setup the sampling rate in Labview Express with the NI 9435 to count edges for a specific period of time and then wait a specific period of time before counting again for the same period of time. For example: Sampling period might be 30 seconds. Then I want to take 30 seconds counts every five minutes.

I tried having it set for N samples.

Then saying take 5 samples and a frequency of 1/300 but then there's no room to tell it to take 30 second samples.

Any help would be appriciated.

Have you looked at the Execution Control tab of your step?  You can input a post execution time to wait before the loop iterates again.  Hopefully this helps!
