How do I generate a single pulse without using the counter?

I am pretty new to using labview.  I need to generate a single pulse out of an NI USB-6501 DAQ to clock a flip-flop.  The examples addressing this problem I have seen so far seem to require the DAQ's counter which is currently tied up for other purposes in my case.

Thanks!

With the DAQmx Write set to 1Line 1Point, Write a True, wait, Write a False, wait, repeat. The DAQ Assistant can do the same thing. You should be aware that since the 6501 is software timed, your minimum pulse width is going to be at least 1ms and there will be considerable jitter.

 

Look at the examples that come with LabVIEW and look at the tutorials at Getting Started with DAQmx.
