Timing in DAQ

[PJM]

I am trying to make a program that allows the user to supply a time limit
for Data acquisition. The problem is that for the one "easy VI" that I plan
on using (called, "Count Events or Time.vi" under the counter menu) requires
a string input called "counter". What does this string have to be in order
for the counter to work? Other suggestions for solutions are also acceptable.
I am just trying to get this program to work.

The "counter" string input should be given either "0" or "1" depending on
which counter channel you are using as your signal input (assuming you have
only two counters).
