How to reset counters after daq is done without closing Labview

[steve synakowski]

HI,
I have to use a computer boards card and their universal library with
Labview 6.1 for data acquisition.
Basically a d/a pulser while collecting a/d data.
The daq block is a question mark since installing the universal library,
hence there is no reset block which I hear would normally take care of this.
Both d/a and a/d run in background, using AinScBg, GetStatus, StopBg for
a/d, and then AOutScBg, GetStatus, and StopBg for the d/a.
The acq is timed to stop at 30seconds.
After saving, the current count is at the last number, and the pulses keep
going.
Anyone know how I am supposed to reset this? Limited info from
computerboards.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I hope I understood your question right. I guess your counter is shown on your frontpanel. If so you can insert a condition in your diagramm. if "saving"= true then "value" must be set to zero (using create a constant). The "value" of the frontpanel-element can be set to zero by selecting >create >property-node> value.
(then right mouseclick> create constant)

Thanks Kathrine,
I'll try that.
I still don't know how to get the background pulses to reset though, I'm
using the StopBg block like they say to..
Getting out of labview at least starts the pulses at the same point for the
next data, so the data lines up. Maybe I have to do similar here as well
somehow.
