PWM with a SCXI-1200

I need to generate a PWM signal with a SCXI-1200 connected to a SCXI-1000 chassis. Any ideas of how to do it? I have a routine to generate a PWM to the PCI-6035E, but not for the SCXI.

Thank you,

Guilherme

Guilherme;

You can't do PWM with the counter that is on that module. There is only one register on the SCXI-1200 counter. Everything would be very glitchy and ill-timed.

In case you need to do that on SCXI, you will need a SCXI-1180 feedthrough module. That module allows one to access the unused counters of the DAQ device that controls the SCXI chassis.
