DAQ Assistant to Count Edges using NI 9361

[sambpk]

Hello,

I just ordered the NI 9361 module and am attempting to program it into my code. I have the DAQ assistant set up (DAQ Assistant 2) to count the edges, but I need to add the pull up resistor as well. I can't configure it and couldn't find any examples on here. This is only a small part of the code that involves the configuring of the Counter module.

Hi Sam,

have you tried NOT to use the DAQAssistent ExpressVI to be able to configure ALL properties of your device?

Btw. you should NOT use a local variable (like "Test Type") when the terminal is unused or you could use a wire instead!

After reading some posts on here I was going to attempt to go through and change all the properties. Should I be using the DAQmx functions under measurement IO?

The local variable comes from a larger part of my code in which the user selects between a boiler and a water heater test, so they only have to input this once I used a local variable on all other case structures throughout the code. It's a ring value that is on the front panel and is necessary in order for the code to run correctly.
