How do I synchronize a pulse output to a sine wave input on a pci-6602 card?

I have a sine wave from a function generator as the input on the source of a counter. Input frequencies vary from 2-60 kHz. I want to produce a pulse train at a different frequency (10 Hz), but in phase with the sine wave. I have only been using Labview 5.1 for a short time. I am using the PCI-6602 card with a SCB-68 connecting block.

Hello;

Unfortunately, you can't connect a analog sinewave to the counter source. Counters only work with digital TTL signal type. To accomplish that task, you will need a MIO board working in sync with the 6602 you already have.

Filipe,

I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. Is there any way that inputing a TTL signal on one counter can produce a pulse train on another counter? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
