NI 6343 Internal DI Sample Clock counter name text string?

[sanmina1600]

I need to add a frequency test to my remote site (remote debug). Could someone tell me the text string as counter name for NI 6343 Internal DI Sample Clock? Thanks.

What's the name of your device?

NI USB-6343 X Series DAQ

I meant the name that DAQmx on your computer recognizes it as. Dev1?

Nevermind, just click the little arrow on the right side of your constant there and select from the drop-down. It will show you your options if your device is attached.

Might be "Dev1/ctr0". You should open up MAX and test out the device there to make sure everything is functional.

I cannot use drop down. There is nothing on my computer; drop down will not show what I need. I need the text so I can type in into string variable for [counter input].

The device is attached to my remote computer. But remote debug cannot use drop down either.

Does your remote computer have MAX installed? This is the easiest way to see what the device alias is.

You can always just try Dev1 and see if it works. This is the default when the very first device is added to a system.

If you can deploy code to the remote system, you can also use the DevNames property of the System Node from the DAQmx System Setup palette. This will show you all of the names of the devices in the system and you should see your device there.

I deliver program by sending installer. I am not sure if MAX is involved.

The program uses text strings for the digital I/O names "ZMB_6343/port0/line0". I added other channels using the same format and they worked. I think I will try "ZMB_6343/ctr0". Thanks.

The remote computer has no development. It runs executables with "remote debug" enabled.

You can install MAX on a remote computer with the installer. It's one of the "Additional Installer" options. Sounds like it might work with ctr0, though, since you have your known name.
