size of internal counter for Wait Express VI in Real Time Traget

Hello,

I initially implemented a code to read load cell values using the HX711 amplifier with a bit-banging protocol on an FPGA target. However, when attempting to replicate this code on a Real-Time target, I encountered difficulties in collecting the load cell data.

 

Upon investigation, I identified the following issue: The FPGA side of the system uses an 8-bit internal counter in the Wait Express VI, which is suitable for the HX711's requirements. Conversely, the LabVIEW Real-Time only offers a 32-bit internal counter. Given that the HX711 requires an 8-bit counter, is there a way to configure an 8-bit internal counter on the Real-Time target?

 

I have attached two figures for reference: one showing the LabVIEW FPGA code used and another displaying the Wait Express VI, which currently only supports a 32-bit internal counter.
