Hi,
I have a USB6008 multifunction DAQ and am trying to use it for pulse counting in Matlab through calls to the dll. What I would like to know is if there is any way to use a built in clock of the DAQ to count the pulses in a period of, say, 10 ms instead of using the timing function is Matlab on my old and overworked pc that is unlikely to be particularly accurate. Failing this, what would be the best counter to buy? My signal comes from a photon counter which has a maximum pule rate of 20e6 / s (the 5Mhz on the usb6008 is a comprimise). The frquency is certainly not fixed and so pulse counting rather than frequency calculation is what is needed.
Thanks, any help would be appreciated (even in coding)
