Bus communications for 660x counter timer cards

[mentor]

I believe I have a new application for 660x counter timer cards. I propose to build some additional circuitry on a blank PCI card to be installed in the same PC as the 660x card. If my sequence of pulses is generated on my home-built card, can this pulse sequence be fed via the PCI bus to the 660x card or must the 68 way connector be used. Can the PCI 6602 use the PCI bus for data receipt and transmission? Can the PXI 6602 use the PXI bus in a similar manner? Please note, my application will still be viable if the PCI/PXI bus cannot be used in this manner but it would give me more options and probably a 'cleaner' solution.
Thanks and regards.

Hello,

This sounds like a really interesting project. I�m not exactly sure what the details of your application are, but I can tell you that the counter input and output signals are only available on the 68-pin connector of the 660x card.

If there are any other questions you have about this card or how to interface to it, please let me know.
Have a great day!
