usb daq with counter output

[aviator3]

I'm looking for a USB-DAQ that will be able to generate a continuous 5V TTL pulse train, as well as give me at least 8 channels of analog input so that I can read in various voltages and currents. I have been able to produce a pulse train using the PCI-6014 but I need USB capability since it will be in a remote location with only USB ports available. I know there are an abundance of USB supported DAQ's out there, I was just wondering if anyone knew off the top of their heads of one with the right counters onboard that will allow me to produce a pulse train.

The reason I'm asking is a need to supply some hardware with this pulse train as a clock so that I can sweep through a multiplexer which will have up to 8 crack-meters running through it and I need the ability to autonomously  sweep through each one. The pulse will trigger each relay pertaining to each meter.

Thanks

Narrowed it down to 21 (USB, 8 analog inputs, at least 1 counter/timer)- you'll need to verify pulse train generation capabilities of the counter.

All of the boards in AK2DM's list support counter outputs except the 6008 and 6009.

I simulated what I am looking to be able to do with a USB-DAQ using a 6014 that I have here in the lab. Attached is the VI.

Since I'm looking to actually output two different pusles, I'm assuming I will need two different counters onboard the USB-DAQ?

And if that is true, the list that was provided before, is it possible to help me narrow it down some more since I believe I will be needing two counters.

Thanks

It should be the same list:

All of the M Series (62xx) DAQ devices have 2 full-featured counters.  The 6008/6009 only have a single counter which is only capable of counting edges (not pulse generation).

I was thinking specifically the USB-6212 or the USB- 6215 due to budget constraints. I hate those

Thanks for all your help. I think I got it from here
