edge counter not functioning in MAX

[j.win]

Hello wise ones!

I was hoping somebody could help me with a problem I am having detecting TTL edges on my NI-2090a that is connected to a NI-6025e. Even if I go into Measurement and Automation Explorer and run the Counter I/O test nothing is detected. I tried different counters and different ports (BNC PFI0 and other non-BNC PFI's) connected to different trigger sources but still no succes. Interestingly I also have a simple USB 6008 on which I can get these settings to work.

I used a few test VIs that I found here but none worked (which I guess is to be expected). 

Is there something that I am not seeing here? Any help is welcome and if you want more information please let me know!

Hello j.win,

Which version are you using (PCI,PXI,...) ?
Can you share a MAX Report (File >> Create MAX Report), so that I can check the installed software versions?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply!

I attached a MAX report to this post. Also in response to your question I use a PCI system. 

Thanks again!

Hello j.win,

Normally you should be able to use the counter with this combination of drivers and hardware.

Some extra things I was wondering about:

- Have you done a self-test (without anything connected to the DAQ-card)?

- Have you done a self-calibration (without anything connected)?

- Can you still measure analog input or produce analog outputs?

Is it the first time you try this set-up or did it used to work before?

Can you show me schematic of the wiring?

Hello J.win,

Any news for us?

Hey!

So the strange thing is that I put the card in a different computer and then the problem was fixed 🙂

Should be exactly the same drivers so I dont see how anything could have changed.

Still for me it doesnt matter anymore so I'll change it to fixed 😉

Thanks for the help!
