pulse width measurements

[jimmy0691]

Hello,

I am trying to measure the pulse witdth of a signal that has a pulse width of 800 micro seconds.  I am using the pulse width measurement VI with an indicator on the pulse duration output.  The sample rate I am using to sample the signal is 10000 samples/sec.  The pulse width measurement VI is returning a value of 8.  I'm assuming that it is taking the pulse width of the signal and dividing it by (1/10000) which is the time between each sample.  Is this correct? 

Thanks

The DAQ card I am using is a PCI-6035E

Hi Jimmy,

You said that you were using the Pulse Width Measurement VI.  Are you using the Express VI (LabVIEW 7 or higher), the regular VI, or are you trying to use a counter to measure do your PWM?

Perhaps you could post a snippet of your code.  It sounds like you've got the right answer, but knowing which method you are using could definitely help.
