Generate pulse to drive an instrument AND to trigger AI (S series DAQ)?

[DanceWiz]

Hi,

I am using a PCI 6122 (with LV 7.1 and Windows XP).  I am generating a TTL pulse with one of the counters on the board (Counter 0).  I need to use this pulse to drive a shutter and also as a trigger for data acquisition (AI).  Is there a way to "split" the output so I can receive TTL pulse at two different terminals simultaneousely, e.g. at "CTR 0 OUT" and at "PFI 3"?  If not, can someone please explain to me, or direct me to some material, on whether (and how) I can synchronize two counters in order to achieve the same thing?

Thanks.

Anyone?

Never mind... I figured out how to generate two synchronous pulses from the two counters by using a common trigger: I am using a pulse generated from one of the digital lines (DO) which I am physically routing to the CTR 0 GATE, i.e. PFI 9, and CTR 1 GATE, i.e. PFI 4, terminals.  I have attached a screen shot in case it is of help to anyone else.
