Diagnostic program for PCI counter 6601 in LV 6.02

[Minnet]

Hi!

I am looking for some simple diagnostic program for Counter car 6601. The program has to be in LabVIEW 6.02.

I want to check if I get signals to the card, especially the Z trigger signal. The ideal would be if I can check signals A, B and Z separately. For instance, sending in a pulse to respective pin and if the card registers the signal I get an indication, a led on the screen flashes ore something.

The problem is that my vision system has stopped working suddenly. Has anyone experienced similar problems with this type of counter cards?

The system consists of a PCI 6052 E DAQ, a PCI 6601 counter and a PCI 1409 IMAQ card. The Z pulse, to the 6601, of an encoder or a strobe triggers a camera and the 6052 card via an RTSI bus. When running my program the 6052 card is triggered but the PCI 1409 IMAQ is not.

If I run the system in test mode, which implies that the 6601 card generates the pulstrane that triggers the PCI 1409 via RTSI, I get the system to work. But when I use an external trigger pul to the 6601 card I get no response from my camera/the 1409 card.

Thankful for any help!

Hi!

This is a good start, now I only need the same for the PCI 6601 Counter and the PCI 1409 IMAQ.
