Can I set just a few PFI ports on the same line for use with counters, and leave the rest as static DIO? (USB-6218-USB)

I only need one port of each line for PFI usage, and would like to use the rest for digital input/output. Before I finish the circuit design and test it myself, I would like to verify this. I can't seem to find the answer in the manuals, either.

Thanks,

Ben

Hello Ben,

If you are not using all of the PFI lines you can use the rest as DI/O. PFI0,1,2,3,8,9,10,11 are digital inputs and PFI 4,5,6,7,12,13,14,15 are digital outputs. Another technique you can use is to create a task on the Measurement and Automation Explorer, if it lets you create it then it's possible.
