Can a NIDAQmx task contain two counter inputs?

[Vicku]

Hi I am using PXI-6602 to measure angular position with three digital enoders. Currently I am creating three different task each with one ctr input and then synchronizing them together. Is it possible to create just one task having all three ctr inputs such that there is no need of synchronization etc.

Hi vicku,

I understand that you cannot have multiple counters in one task; in order to use multiple counters, you must create a separate task for each counter. Are you having problems trying to synchronize these tasks? If so, please post back the details so we can try to help.

Hello Ana,

Thank you very much replying. Yes I was having trouble synchronizing the encoders so was thinking if I can have one task then there would be no need of synchronization. And now I know from you that one can not have three counter inputs in one task.

But yesterday with the help of a friend I was able to synchronize the three encoders.

Thanks for clarifying my doubt and for being there to help.
