How do program 3 independent finite pulse train generators from 3 counter pairs

I need to drive a 3-axis piezo leadscrew friction type motor by finite train of pulses from a PCI-6602.How do I specify the counter pairs in my code with out any one counter conflicting with the others?

Hello;

You can definitely use one of the shipping examples that comes with your Software, and expand that concept to three counters. One counter won't interfere with the ohers. You just need to configure three independent tasks, each one for one counter.

If you are using Labview, you can create a dependency on the configuration of the counters by using the error cluster from one VI to another.

This scheme (and the examples) works fine when you want finite generation done in sequence, but seems not to work with when they are done independently and in synchronously run in parallel fashion.
