Routing the 6220 frequency generator.

[craiggerB]

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to route the 6220 independent frequency generator to another PFI terminal.  The documentation states "You can route Frequency Output to any PFI <0..15> terminal.".  How is this accomplished in Labview?  I can't figure out the code or property node to "route" the signal to another PFI.  Or is it a matter of using the Frequency Output as the source for another task of some sort?

Thanks.

Craigger,

You can use the "DAQmx Connect Terminals.vi" to accomplish this. It is located in the function palette at: DAQmx >> DAQmx Advanced >> DAQmx Signal Routing
Hope that helps.

Thanks, GDE.

That is what I was looking for.  I also found, through an example I downloaded, that the channel property node can be used to set the output terminal for a virtual channel or task.

Again, thanks.

Craigger,

Glad to help, good luck with the rest of your project, and take care.

Craig-

The channel property node "output terminal" is the correct way to change the output of the freqout counter (or one of the normal counters for that matter).  That way you don't have to worry about cleaning up the signal routing when you are finished.
