I want to interface PCI-6601 with photoelectric sensors to count the number of PCB chassis. Related this I have following problems-1)Where I can connect sensors(pin numbers)?
2)How I can acquire data from that sensors(Is is necessary to write any program? If yes, what?)
3)In which format I will get the output data?

Hi,

We're going to need a little more info about your application before we can get you a compete answer.

Your 6601 is a counter/timer board that can count and measure TTL pulses.

You can get the pinout for your board from the user manual found here: http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/dd0dbb6404bc139886256721007cf16d

In LabVIEW, you can find shipping examples for various counter measurements by going to Help >> Find Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Counter Measurments.

I would also suggest downloading and installing the latest NI-DAQ driver:
