Can I change the delay or pulse width on a trigered pulse on the fly in DAQmx

[Colin hughes]

In the old DAQ driver you could not change the a triggered pulse delay or pulse width on the fly of a as there was a problem in the DAQ driver or was this a hardware problem?

Is this now possible with DAQmx , if not why not as you could do this with the old 16 bit cards in dos by updating the registers.

This has been a major problem with NI counters timers and one would have thought that by now this problem would be fixed.We need to do this with out stopping and restarting a task.

Any help here.

Hi Colin,

Please can you try the suggestion in this KB. hopefully it should still work with what you are doing. I can not find any information specifically on what you want to do with a triggered pulse. However this example program might give you some hints as well.

Hi JamesC

>>The NI-DAQmx driver allows you to reprogram the counters on the fly during continuous pulse train generatio.

I need to do this with a trigard pulse not a continous pulse train, seems that after all these years NI has not fixed this major problem with there counter timers.

Somthing that could be done in old 16 bit counter timers, this makes NI timers off little use for most applications that we use timers for.
