how to choose a different terminal for counter output task using PCIe-6738

[Tone77]

I notify that in the purpose description of C function "DAQmxCreateCOPulseChanFreq", it says "

The pulses appear on the default output terminal of the counter unless you select a different output terminal

". So I wonder how to choose a different terminal for the counter.

I don't know the C API syntax at all, but hopefully I can offer some clues based on how one does it in LabVIEW:

- in LabVIEW, I'd use a DAQmx Channel property node to specify counter pulse output terminal.  It'd look like this:

                   

(Note the leading forward slash character needed when specifying *terminals*.  It is *not* used when specifying *channels*.)

For terminals that are on the same device as the channel being used in the task, the following shortcut generally works too (it might *always* work, I just haven't investigated enough to make the claim):
