Reconfigure counters on PCI 6229?

[Meg T]

Hi,

I have what I think is a very simple question, but I am unable to find the answer on the discussion boards.  I am using a PCI 6229 and have a digital signal wired to my PFI 0. I would actually like the signal to be the source for counter 0, which by default is PFI 8. Unfortunately, I can't rewire the signal externally. Is it possible to pass the incoming signal to PFI 8 (ctr0 src) or to reconfigure the defaults to make PFI 8 = ctr0 source? I am nearly certain that this question must have been addressed previously, so if anyone is willing to point me in roughly the right direction, that would be great.  I am very unfamiliar with DAQmx except for frequent use of the DAQ assistant!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Hi Kate04

Use a Daqmx Channel property to change the input terminal. See attachment.

Great, that was a simple solution that worked for me. I just implemented the DAQmx Channel and used the signal to change the CI.CountEdges.Term to configure the counter. I really appreciate your suggestion.
