Hey Leroy,

I wish I knew whether you were using LabWindows CVI 6.0 or 7.0.

In CVI the examples for Traditional NI-DAQ will be installed on your hard driver at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI70\samples\daq and C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI70\samples\easyio. The NI-DAQmx examples should have been installed on your computer at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\CVI70\samples\DAQmx\Analog In if you have CVI 7.0 and NI-DAQmx installed.

Some of the easyio examples include the timer function to acquire the data. However, note that this is a software timer and it is not as precise as the timer chip built on the DAQ device. In order to use the hardware time look at the regular DAQ examples (not easyio) and the ai_acq easyio example.

I
hope this helps out.
