Current status of counter output

[Hoard]

We are setting up a system with Compact DAQ modules.  I will control a solenoid with a continuous pulse signal from a 9485 counter output.  My question is whether there is a way for Labview to know the current output status of the counter (i.e., high or low)?  A brute force method is to wire the output both to the solenoid and also to a digital or analog input channel and have Labview read the signal, but I wonder if there is a more elegant way built into the 9485.

Thanks.

Hoard,

There is a property node that indicates that output state of a counter. Place a DAQmx Channel Property Node on your block diagram. For the property, select Counter Output » General Properties » More » Output State. The output will indicate whether the counter is high or low.

Thanks!  Now that I see that it is easy... I just hadn't known where to look.
