Using External Clock to write counter value to buffer

[TheHallGuy]

Using CTR mode config which input controls at what frequency the counter value gets written to the buffer? How do I set it up so the counter value is written to the buffer at the same time Anologue inputs are written to a buffer, without using the other counter.

Hello,

Could you please explain what type of counter operation are you interested in doing? That would help me in suggesting something.

But if I roughly understand what you are saying here, you can use a same clock to provide as scan clock for analog input and then use that clock for the counter. But depending on what counter operation you are trying to do will decide whether that clock be provided as source or Gate.

You may take a look at examples provided at the following location too :
