6229 counter output inhibit

    Greetings all,
I am trying to use my pci-6229 board and BNC-2090a for the following purpose.
I want to monitor analog votages on AI0-x while putting out a ttl signal at lets say 60Hz.

If an analog signal goes above a certian value I want to stop the counter ttl trigger, or possible
lower the rate, to maybe 10Hz.

The  main concern is monitoring  the voltages at the fastest update rate and being able to immediately turn off the
outgoing counter or change its rate.  By changing the "# of Samples per Channel" the update rate seems to change, but I'm not sure
how to optimize this. 

Any suggestions, I've searched the boards but am having some difficulties.

Thanks,

Jim

Ok, I have made an attempt at doing what I would like using a Pause Trigger, I can make my digital state go to high by putting >1V on AI0.
The counter rate does not change though. 

I'm also not sure of how to "Clear" the counter task, whenever I wire to a "Clear Task" outside the loop, it gives an error.
