square generator activated when push a button

[Giakko]

I need an information for the software LABVIEW
Is it possible to create a square generator wich generate a 5 Volts of amplitude when you push a button and stopped when release the same button?
the frequency must be 100k HZ and the device is an USB 6218.
thank you in advance for your help

Hello Giakko,

in order to generate one pulse with a frequency of 100 KHz you need to use the counter circuitery of your device. The 6218 does not allow to use Digital I/O hardware timed and you would not be able to perform your task in a software manner.

That being said, you can look at any example of a finite counter generation by clicking on Help->Find Examples->Hardware Input and Output -> DAQmx -> Counter Generation.

Regards,

Andrea
