DIsable CTR 0 OUT

Hello,
 
I'm using a DAQ 6024 E PCMCIA card and LABVIEW 8.2. I've a signal connected to both the counter output (CTR 0 OUT) as well as a analog input (AI1) because in some circumstances I have to drive the signal and in other cicumstances I've to read the signal. The problem is that I cannot read the signal anymore as soon that my counter output has been used before. The output on CTR 0 OUT depends on the last output that has been put on this pin and I thus measure the counter output instead of the signal that I want to measure.
 
Is there a way to disable and re-enable (software/hardware) the counter output on my card and how can I proceed? At the moment I've put a switch on my connection block in order to disconnect the counter output when necessary.
 
Kind regards,
Nicolas

Nice! Your input was very valuable.
 
Using the DEVICE RESET vi works great and simplifies my measuring procedure.
