USB 6211 DAQ counter

I am using the circuit and labview program found on the following link and I would like to use a USB 6211 DAQ.  I have noticed that the ctr0 and ctr1 both have multiple pins on the DAQ.  The circuit diagram says to connect one to "out" and the other to "gate".  Do I have to initialize anything or declare what pin i am using, or can i just wire to the "out" and "gate" pins for the respective counters and run the program?

Hey,

 

At the DAQmx Create Channel.vi you declare what counter you are using with the Physical Channel Input.

E.g.  you specify Dev1/ctr0 then you have to take CTR0 Out or Gate or Source, depending on the Task.
