Overview
The VI allows for sample clocked encoder inputs on the 6608 while in a PXIe chassis

Description:
The VI is designed to create a dummy task on one card, export it to the backplane, and then read it in as the external sample clock on the 6608.
Note: The maximum sampling rate is 150kHz before recieving an overflow error.

Steps to implement or execute code
To implement this example:

  1. Set the desired channels to be used
  2. Run the VI
  3. (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 Analog Input 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 Analog Input Module
