finite pulse train generation... how to count number of pulses?

[chookie]

hi guys,

this has probably been solved a hundred times but i just couldnt find it!!

i have a pulse train generation happening on my ni usb-6211... using FREQ OUT, using a divisor on this, and routing it to PFI4.

id like to update my VI so i can specify the number of pulses....

im pretty much a noob at this stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!

Hi,

No problem at all, we are here to help. What I’m going to do first is to point you to a bunch of examples for that might give you a better insight of the capabilities of the card in terms of finite pulse generation. What you should be looking at is called retriggerable pulse generation and here are some examples to look at: Retriggerable Finite Pause Trigger Digital Pulse Train Generation , Creating a Delayed, Retriggerable and Finite Pulse Generator, DAQmx - Retriggerable Pulse Train Generation - LabVIEW - CVI - ANSI C - VB.NET - C#.NET and Retriggerable Finite Pulse Train with Changing Pulse Specs.

Let me know it helps

Thanks Jaime!

The  DAQmx - Retriggerable Pulse Train Generation - LabVIEW - CVI - ANSI C - VB.NET - C#.NET   solution worked perfectly for me.

Cheers,
