how to generate pulse on digital i/o line ? usb 6211 labview 8.5

[mpsarma1]

i want to generate a 5ms pulse on one of the digital ouput lines which will be further used for delaying DAQ acquisition.

thanks

You will need to use counters to generate a digital pulse. I would ask you to take a look at the examples that are shipped with the DAQmx driver (In LabVIEW, goto Help -> Find Examples).  Search for pulse and select Generate Dig Pulse.vi. If you have any questions, post back!

Thanks but i am sorry i have not mentioned that one counter is already in use for generating a sequence of pulses

in a process while the other counter is also engaged in counting a period by two edge measurement and the couners are busy.

So i need a method to generate an output pulse from digital output line only with out involving counters.

any help?

thanks once again

Well, you could use a sequence structure and have two digital outputs for on and off and put a wait in between there, like we usually do when programming FPGA. But, I don't think it's going to work as well especially since the entire sequence will be software-timed. I would recommend a new counter card.
