Hello cbrideau,
I am unable to find this example that you are referring to. However, there are some basic steps you can go through to make sure that your device is functioning properly. In Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) you can expand the Configuration Tree so that you see the category Devices and Interfaces >> NI-DAQmx Devices. Your PCI-6602 should be listed under this entry. If this entry does not exist, you may not have a version of NI-DAQmx that supports your hardware, so you should download and install NI-DAQmx 7.5. Once you see your device, you can right-click on it and choose self-test. You can also open up test panels and test the counters by doing event counting and pulse train generation. If you do not wish to use NI-DAQmx you can also open up test panels for the device listing underneath Traditional NI-DAQ devices.
After you have verified that the board is functioning properly, you can open up an example from the Example Finder. In LabVIEW, go to Help >> Find Examples >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Counter Measurements >> Count Digital Events to find a relevant example and run it. Examples also exist for Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) but I strongly recommend you consider using NI-DAQmx.
Hopefully you are able to run one of these examples.
Thanks,
Laura
