Counting REQ pulses

I'm using a 6534 DAQ board to output digital data, I would like to cycle the clock for a large (223,936,914) number of cycles. Is there anyway I can count the number of REQ pulses that have been sent so I can jump out of a loop when I've had enough cycles? I've tried controlling "number of scans/updates" or "number of reads" in the sub-VI's to do this... but it just doesn't like my extremely large number. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sal

Sal:
Sounds like you are trying to do a finite buffered operation, but your computer is not allowing you to allocate that much memory. Maybe try doing continuous pattern I/O (see the shipping LabVIEW examples) and monitor how many data points have been outputted. Once that mets your requirement, stop the continuous pattern I/O.
