Overview
This example covers how to use a counter on a DAQ card to divide down the frequency of a pulse train.

Description:
The VI would shows you a simple configuration of using the counter of the DAQ Hardware for dividing the pulse train in order to calculate the frequency of the signal.

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

Choose the Counter channel on the card to use
Set the rest of the parameters as needed
Run the VI
(Optional) Turn on the Highlight Execution to see the flow of the VI

To execute this example:

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

Requirements
Software
LabVIEW 2012 or compatible
