Performing a Pulse Output Operation
To verify that the module can perform a pulse output operation,
perform the following steps:
1.
Connect a scope to counter/timer 0 on the KUSB-3116 module.
Refer to

pulse output) to counter/timer 0.
Note:
The Quick Data Acq application works only with
counter/timer 0.
