6602: Want to route a dedicated DIO (0-7) Line configured for output to a RTSI line

[rocketball]

PXI-6602: I want to use a dedicated DIO (0-7) line configured for output to trigger all 8 counters on the 6602 card. The counters are configured for two-signal-edge-separation measurement. I Have tried to use Route-Signal.vi to route PFIn (0-7) to RTSI bus with no luck.

You should be able to trigger counters on the 6602 using the Digital Lines DIO (0-7).

Use the Set Attribute VI and set the attribute value type to Enabled and attribute ID to Start Trigger.

Wire the output of Set Attribute Task ID to the Task ID input of the Route Signal VI. Select the start trigger for the Signal Name input, PFI n for Signal Source input and PFI line Number for Signal Source Line Number input. Try this and see if this works.
