When generating a pulse train with 6602, can i do this with zero delay with respect to the first pulse?

using 6602 counters, i can generate a triggered, 100 Hz train with no problem. but i there is always a delay between the trigger and the 1st pulse (approx. 10 ms). i do not want this delay (which is phase 1 as described in labview) to the first pulse. i want the pulses to start immediately upon triggering. can examples provided by labview do this? or what can i do?

I don't think you want to set your phase 1 to zero; otherwise, your pulse train will not be correct. What I believe you want is to change the output polarity. When I configure my counters, the CTR Mode Config VI gets called, and there's an input on this VI to set the polarity. If you set it to low, then I think it will do what you want (it defaults to high, meaning phase 1 must pass before the output goes high).
