How to put out an hardware timebased clock signal for external hardware on PCI6229 counter ?

Hello everybody, I have got a problem to put out a clock signal through a counter of a PCI6229. I tried to use an task which puts out a 6 kHz signal (hardware timed single point mode) but the VI malfunctions by increasing CPU usage. The VI is attached below. If anybody has got an idea how to solve this problem or is able to reconfigure my VI to a well operating VI I would be glad. Thanks all for your help, Marcel

Hi Marcelpicard,

try the example in the LabVIEW help. When you browse the example finder go to

Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Generating Digital Pulses >> Gen Dig Pulse Train Continuous.vi

This example uses implicit timing which is more effective for this task. You can read more about

the implicit timing mode on the following link:

Good luck,

David
