Simultaneous arming of counters

[dh]

I'm using 6602 counter with the application of ND_BUFFERED_PERIOD_MSR with countinuous buffer to measure the time period between the consecutive pulses. I want to know if there is a way to arm the two counters simultaneously. I tried to use software to arm one counter at a time. But there is about millisecond time difference. So the time between the two counter is not meanful. If they can be armed by hardware trigger simultaneously, not only the time within the signal channel, but also between the signal channel can be measured.

Thanks,

Hi,

The best way to solve this problem is to use a start trigger for your acquisition. That way, your counters are all started at the same time. Check the attached program for an example that you can build upon. The example is just so that you can use to build yours.
