Count Squares with 500Hz

Hi!
 
I'm generating with the ExpressVI "Simulate Signal" a Square with the maximum frequency of 500Hz (it varies). Now I want to count the falling flanks.
I tried this with the "Trigger Counter.vi"-Example which I slightly changed for my purposes. (see attached file) But it seems as if the Counter is not fast enough for my Signal (- it counts too slow).
 
Anybody an idea how I can solve the problem and count the correct value of squares?
 
Shorty to my system: I tried it with a 2GHz Sempron with LabView8 
                                      and with a 1,3GHz Centrino with LabView7.1
 
Thank you in advance
  Hendrik

In the simulate signal Express VI the value of one point is set, perhaps you need to set this parameter higher to simulate a real time Frequency.

Try setting it to 100 for example.
