I would like to measure the time between pulse using an FP-CTR-500 and a FP1601 (or a FP1001). I need to measure low frecuency arround 1 pulse per second. All the examples that i found in the ni site are related with measuring pulses in a time-window (that is not what i need) I just would like to measure with a good precision the time beetween two pulses. Some time ago i did it using a NI DAQ Card, but now i would like to use the Field point modules. Loking into the discussion group, some sugest to use the time stamp, but in this case that depend of the host computer that read the module ( if i unsderstood well that depend of the Computer scan time). I just want a simple system tha provide the time between two pulses to the host computer ).
I did an application using microcontrollers (PIC) that work fine. Using basically this loop:
1.- I wait for a rising edge in the pulse input.
2.- Reset a timer
3.- I wait for the next rising edge,
4.- Read the timer.
5.- Goto step 1
But i would like develop this using NI Fieldpoint modules
In wich direction should i work arround ?
