Hi,
What I want to do :
*********************
My application requires generating an analog output, after some time the DUT responds with a pulse of 1.5ms duration. I need to find the time between the point where I genrate the AO and the point where I get the pulse.
What I am planning to do :
*****************************
I plan to start a counter at the moment I start the AO, the input pulse to counter would be a pulse train from an external clock or another counter output. I would like to stop the counter using the pulse from the DUT by connecting it to the GATE terminal. The idea is derived from the example vi, Count Digital Events-Pause Trig.vi. Based on the number of counts and the pulse train frequency, the time can be measured.
Problems Faced and queries:
*********************************
1. I tried to test the idea by generating a continuous pulse train from counter_0 and feeding it to the source of counter_1 and use the above example to count the pulses. Here I can only pause the count using the gate input. How do I stop the counting and get the count value using the Pause trigger property?
2. If I want to use the internal clock base instead of using another counter, how should I enable this?
3. Is there any other option to measure the time I need?
4. When Iam using the generate finite pulse train vi in counter_0 and connecting it to Counter_1 source. Using the count digital event, I try to count the events. Error is generated with a reason that there is a hardware conflict. Can I not use different counters in the same card for generating a finite pulse train and counting them on the other counter input?
