PFI output for internal counter

[pml2106]

If a PFI pin on a 6259 is set to be an output, can the output signal also be routed internally to one of the counters?  Or do I have to take the output signal and physically wire it to a second PFI pin that has been configured as an input?

Hello pml2106,

Depending on what resources of your device are already in use, you might be able to do that, assuming you are talking about a digital output on your PFI line.  Use the "DAQmx Connect Terminals.VI" in LabVIEW, or DAQmxConnectTerms function if using the C API.

Hi,

I'm using Labview 7.0 where would I be able to find "DAQmx Connect Terminals.VI"  I can't seem to find it anywhere.  Another source says that its in the function palette under DAQmx, but I can't seem to find that function on my function palette.  Is it because of the version of labview that I have or is it because I'm looking in the wrong area?

In LabVIEW 7.0, the DAQmx Connect Terminals.vi is here:  All Functions>>NI Measurements>>DAQmx - Data Acquisition>>DAQmx Advanced>>DAQmx Signal Routing palette.  If you don't have it there, you probably don't have a recent enough version of NI-DAQmx, which you can download here.
