Trying to trigger a camera with USB-6001 in VB6

As the subject line states, all I'm trying to do is use a USB-6001 to trigger a camera to take a picture when I press a button. It takes a 5V TTL signal to trigger, on the rising edge.

 

The problem comes from having to do this, due to needing to integrate this into a larger automation program for the lab, into Visual Basic 6.0.

 

I originally hooked it to a Windows 7 computer, plugged some wires into the D +5V and D GND ports on the DAQ Card, and just made sure it worked via the Visual Studio's Counter example code with an old oscilloscope.

 

When I moved it over to the computer with Visual Basic 6 though, I can't get any of the examples to work and get a "I/O type of the physical channel does not match the I/O type required for the virtual channel you are creating" error instead. I'm obviously doing something wrong here, but I don't know what.

Any help would be appreciated!
