To measure time interval in ms between two event using digital port of pci 6704?

[shweta]

I need to measure the time interval in ms between two digital events using the digital port of pci 6704 card, already being used for a control application.

Hello,

With this board, you do not have any internal timing, so you would have to use software based timing(tick count ms), so when one event is fired you check the tick count and when the next event has been fired check the tick count and get the second tick count and minus the first tick count to get the time elapsed in ms. Alternatively you could use internal timing.

There are links below explaining:
