AM9513 counter single triggered pulse generation

[SteveP]

Can Componentworks 3 create a single external-TTL-triggered pulse from a AM9513 counter device (AT-MIO-16-F5) ? This needs to run simultaneously with data acquisition that is doing External Scan Start/Clock. The pulse trigger source can be the same as is being used for Ext Scan Start. Pulse width range is tens of microseconds. It is desirable also to be able to control the post-trigger delay to when the pulse is generated. I've been able to accomplish this with an E series board using two CWPulse controls. Can it be done with the AM9513 ?

If you have the latest version of NI-DAQ, 6.9.1, it should work. Have you had a chance to try it with the AM9513 board?

Are you suggesting to use NIDAQ directly (I'm actually using Delphi as my compiler), or to use ComponentWorks with NIDAQ 6.9.1 ? That version does not support the AT-MIO-16 board though.

You are correct, I meant to say 6.1.

What problems are you encountering?

I have been able to get this to work using Delphi 6 and ComponentWorks 3 on counters 1 and 5 simultaneously. The input trigger polarity and output pulse polarity can be inverted through software if desired. Other than not calling CW Pulse methods only available for E Series boards, the software program is the same for E Series and this AM9513 board, i.e. CW (NIDAQ) is able to tell the correct calls to make.
