is it possible to generate only-high or only-low state with counter?

[dragondriver]

Hi all,

  I have one digital line connected to an external switch. I am sending a TTL high or low to switch the device on or off. But for some reason, I need to consider the synchronized issue so I have to switch the device on for some times and turn it off, which was done by using a counter instead. I set the counter to use external clock to drive the counter to output 1 TTL pulse. Now come to the question. To use counter, I must output a pulse (HIGH and LOW). But sometimes I need to output only HIGH state or only LOW state. Is it possible to implement that with counter line?

Can you explain more about why you need to use a counter? There are ways to synchronize digital outputs, so maybe you could still use this option.

You can clear the counter task and create a new digital output task on the same line.

No need to clear the counter task, just unreserve it!
