How to read multiple samples on digital input line in 6211

Hi,

 

I have USB-6211 series daq, i am trying to read HX711 ( laod cell IC ). Is there any way i can read multiple samples on digital line of 6211. The sampling method it support is on demand only and i am guessing it corresponds to one sample only. Any suggestion on this will be much appreciated. 

 

Thanks

Unfortunately, that device does not have any digital timing engines, so you cannot hardware-time digital acquisition.  The higher-end M Series (62xx) devices support correlated DIO timing, where you use another clock (external clock, internal counter, analog timing engine, etc.) to clock the digital subsystem, but the cheaper 621x devices do not support this feature.  Here is some documentation that explains this:

Depending on what you actually want to capture (PWM, for example), you may be able to use counters to achieve what you want.  See Chapter 8 of the User Manual:
