Using a SCC counter pulse train to control a SCC digital out signal

[phil_prismtc]

I am trying to send a digital high signal on a SCC-Digital ouput module for a certain number of pulses generated by a SCC-Counter/timer pulse train. I have found examples of how to route such signals through PFI12 etc on an M-series board but I am trying to achieve this without referring to the card, just the SCC modules themselves.

I cannot find a way to use the sample clock from the counter generated pulse train to synchronise the digital output.

Is there any way I can do this without referring to the connected M-series DAQ card channels?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Cheers.

Hi Phil,

The SCC carrier is only conditioning your signals (i.e. if your signals are not in optimal ranges, bandwidth or need external excitation). The actual counters and all digital lines are controlled directly by the M-series board. This means you will never be able to refer to a counter in the SCC module.
If you route the signals of the M-Series board, is as if you had done so externally from the SCC. Look at this example and might give you more insight to how to implement it (This is software timing). The hardware timing would be doing correlation DIO. Here is an example that needs to be modified to adapt to your timing: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/4414

Hope this helps,

Thanks Yardov. The VI you sent is very close to what I need. I should be able to adapt it very easily.
Thank you again.
