Configuring counter to generate PWM signals

‎01-30-2023 01:11 AM - edited ‎01-30-2023 01:12 AM

I can generate single PWM signal from a single counter, and there are two counters in 6229 card.

 

My Question is that can i generate more than two PWM signals or any complementary pwm signal from the two available counters in 6229 card? Or can i just generate 2 signals?

 

Can Anyone help?

Counter is a resource required for a bunch of tasks. Each task type takes up a certain number of resources. If your PWM task needs 2 counters to operate and you have only 2 counter resources on your card, this means you can generate only one PWM signal as you don't have extra counters to allocate to generate another.

 

This article explains how many counters are required for each task type - https://knowledge.ni.com/KnowledgeArticleDetails?id=kA00Z000000P7eESAS&l=en-US
