I'll respond here to a new thread you created for the same general issue.

is it possible to read the pulses which are out from the counter out of the same card 6229 using AI or DI channels which is best option.
If you want a "live monitor" of step counts, I think your best option is probably either AO or DO, whichever is less likely to be needed for other things. Here's how it'd work:
1. Configure the output task to use the counter's output as it's sample clock. The 'source' input to DAQmx Timing can be set to something like "/Dev1/Ctr0InternalOutput". (On a DAQmx terminal constant, right-click and select "I/O Name Filtering" from the menu. Then check "Include Advanced Terminals" in the popup.) Make it a continuous task.
2. Write meaningless data to the task with DAQmx Write. Something like all 0.0 V values for AO or all low state values for DO.
3. Start this task *before* starting the CO pulse generating task.
4. You can query this AO / DO task for "Total Samples Per Channel Generated" using a DAQmx Write property node. That # will be your step count.
5. When the CO pulse task is done, stop the AO / DO task too.
