Counters
Routing a Signal to Counter
n
Source
Each counter has independent input selectors for the Counter
n
Source signal. Any of the
following signals can be routed to the Counter
n
Source input:
•
80 MHz Timebase
•
20 MHz Timebase
•
13.1072 MHz Timebase
•
12.8 MHz Timebase
•
10 MHz Timebase
•
100 kHz Timebase
•
Any PFI terminal
•
Analog Comparison Event
•
Change Detection Event
In addition, TC or Gate from a counter can be routed to a different counter source.
Some of these options may not be available in some driver software. Refer to the
Device Routing
in MAX
topic in the
NI-DAQmx Help
or the
LabVIEW Help
for more information about available
routing options.
Routing Counter
n
Source to an Output Terminal
You can route Counter

Counter
n
Gate Signal
The Counter
n
Gate signal can perform many different operations depending on the application
including starting and stopping the counter, and saving the counter contents.
