Re: Generating a pulse train
Hi Sami, The PCI-1200 Legacy DAQ Board is not supported by new versions of NI-DAQ. If you have a newer version, I would go uninstall DAQ and reinstall DAQ version 6.9.3, which can be found http://www.ni.com/support/daq/versions.htm";>here. Also, remember that you will not be able to use new DAQ features (e.g. DAQ Assistant, DAQmx, etc). I found an example program http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.display_epd4?p_guid=B45EACE3DD3556A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52328&p_source=External";>here that may help you. I'm not sure if you've tried this one. Hope this helps! Jeremy L. National Instruments
Generating a pulse train
Hi all, I'm using PCI 1200 and i'm trying to generate a 2kHz signal from the output pin of counter 1 (pin 43). What i did is just placing a "Pulse Train" icon on the diagram window and connected the device # and the freq. I entered 1 for the counter #. When I ran the vi i got the following message: " Error 10403 error occured at CTR Group Config. The specified device does not support the requested action " I tried using the "Generate Pulse train (DAQ-stc).vi" and i got a similar error. I don't think this vi works for PCI1200. I foud another one "Generate Pulse train (8253).vi", I placed a while loop around the case structure and it ran without errors but i couldn't measure any freq signal from the output pin using my scope. I can pick up a voltage from the output but it's constant. Any help is appreciated. thanks
