starting counter(6025E board)

For my application, i need to start the counter to count the buffered edges after some data acquision, the timing is however very critical.

In my vi, the counter control.vi was called immediately after the acquire waveform.vi to start the counter(source is set to 100khz internal timebase) the vi looks as if the counter start counting immediatley after the data acquision, however in actual fact, there is some delay when the program flow from acquire waveform.vi to counter control.vi

it is possible to start the counter "immediately" after data acquision.

eg: something like what can be done in assembly language, where i can just execute a command to start counter once i had complete the data acquision.

Lyn,

You should not see that much of a software delay between the competion of the Acquire Waveform VI and the initiation of the call to program your counter. How much delay are you currently seeing?
