output pulse train and use it as clock source for two DO

Hi ppl.

 

I am using a USB-6289 (two onboard counters ) and I am trying to create a "continuous" pulse train (no finite sample) using

counter 0, and then use this signal as a timming source to two digital outputs of different data (I need them to be

in sync with the pulse train)...

 

However I can get the pulse and the first DO in sync, but when I try to introduce the pulse train as a timming source

to the second DO, I get an error report from LabVIEW saying something like "the resource is already in use" or something

like that.

 

Does anyone has experienced something similar...sure could use some pointers...

 

I didn't upload the code because I am just trying to find if what I am trying to do is feasible....

 

Hope to have some inputs Smiley Wink

 

Cheers.

Hi Rsilva,
 
You cannot create two DO task running in parallel. Use a single task with multiple channels in it if you want to generate on multiple DO.
