ctr channels NI 6343?

When I try to create a counter input channel for edge count, it lists channels ctr 0 through ctr 3 as physical channels for this purpose.  ctr channels are not listed in the system pin out - are they PFI channels?  If so which ones?

Look at tables 7-9 and 7-10 on the user manual.

Thanks, though I couldn't find an explanation to the suffix of these pins (SRC, GATE, AUX, OUT, A, Z, B).  If I want to use the pin to detect # of rise triggers or the frequency, which one would I use?

I highly recommend reading through the counter section in the X series user manual 

 

For counting edges you route the signal you would like to count to the source of the counter.  Depending on the task type you run you will route the signals differently.

 

It should also be noted that using a property node will allow you to change the default routing table.
