How do I trigger counter read with ai/ao with 6062e

[mike_fit]

I looked at examples that used trigger property node with arm trigger. I get the same error as in my attempt. Here are screen shots of both with the error.

Hi Mike,

The arm start trigger is not supported by the 6062e device.  The articles linked below shows the supported devices for this property, why you are seeing the error and how to use filtering on your property nodes to know what properties your device can use.

Triggering information on E series devices for counter tasks is also stated in the manual.  You can find this by navigating to Start>>Programs>>National Instruments>>NI DAQ>>NI-DAQmx Help.  Search for "synchronizing E series devices". 

"You cannot synchronize counter input applications performing period, frequency, pulse width or semi-period measurements in the same sense as analog input or output applications. These types of counter input applications cannot be programmed to make their measurements at the same time because the signals being measured themselves determine when the measurements are made, and there is no reason to set up multiple devices to measure the same signal. You also cannot use Start Triggers for counter input applications...."

Hope this helps!
