Hi,
I'm developing an application that will
generate three outputs for a finite time using a NI 6602. One signal
will have a given frequency and the two remaining signals will have a
frequency that is half of the first but with a user defined
delay. I was able to get it working using an example I found with
a continuous output. However when I try to generate a finite output it
either times out without finishing the signal generation (using ctr0,
ctr2, ctr4) or says that I cannot perform the desired process becuase
the task is reserved. (error -50103). I also tried using a continous
generation with a separate counter to count the edges of the master
signal to determine when to finish. I was unable to get this to work
however in both a internal routing and physical routing setting. I'm at
a loss as how to fix this problem. I've attached a sample of my
code and any thoughts/hints/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Perhaps I'm overlooking something more basic.
Mike, I solved my problem by having two separate tasks. The first was the master timebase at 1000Hz. The second task was two separate 500Hz signals that rose high with a given delay offset. The second task is simply triggered from the first by setting the trigger input to be the internal output of the master signal. Separating the two separate tasks simplified my issue. I not sure if that helps you at all. It seems as if your error is coming from somewhere else.
