Basic question about Digital I/O cards: sending of fixed number of clocks with given frequency?

[GB-Charlie]

Hello,

Up to now I was using the parallel port for I/O purposes. Due to limitations in newer windows versions I have to change the I/O system.

I have a very basic question about digital I/O cards: Is it directly possible to do things like sending 7535 clocks with 4.21 kHz or do I have to toggle the output intricately like the parallel port?

Best greetings,

GB Charlie

Hi GB Charlie,

there are multiple ways of achieving what you want. Using a pattern would be a fancy way of doing this, scripting should work as well (depending on your the device you are using). For generation frequency, you have to either use a fraction of the internal clock (e.g. 50Mhz/25Mhz/12.5MHz/...) or an external one.

Hope this helps a little bit
