Overview
The example is to demonstrate how to program a multiple counters with different configurations of the generation signal

Description:
To put it simply, the VI has two task of the signal generation with their own respective configurations. Leveraging the parallelism of the LabVIEW, it would process the task of the counter independently for the two pulse generation.

Steps to Implement or Execute Code:
To implement this example:

  1. Define the Output Physical Channel
  2. Set the value of the parameters as needed
  3. Run the VI
  4. (Optional) Turn on the Highlight Execution to see the flow of the VI

 

To execute this example:

  1. Install the required software.
  2. Connect the DAQ hardware that supports the Counter features
  3. Confirm the connection with the MAX with TestPanel
  4. Open the VI and refer the Implement Steps


Requirements
Software
LabVIEW 2012 or compatible
NI-DAQmx 16.0 or compatible

Hardware
cDAQ with C series Counter Module
