Counters parallel reading

[Novikov]

I use 16 counters (2 boards PXI-6602) within one application. It means parallel programmed reading measured frequencies with "DAQmx Read (Counter DBL 1Chan 1Samp).vi" LV-RT 7.1 function in diffrent loops and different subVIs. As this function is synchronouos operation, update of every counter read value occurs not faster than the slowest counter updates. Is there any way to make reading loops to be working independently? Maybe I should develop a CVI application/DLL and read counters in different threads?

Thank you for contacting National Instruments.

It sounds as though there is some dependency between your loops.  If they are truly independent, then you shouldn't be observing this relationship between the two counters.  I would double-check the true independence of these two loops.  You might want to place each in their own VI, and run them at the same time, instead of just being independent loops within the same VI.
