Back in 27/7/2009 I logged the following question:
I am doing a fairly simple port, converting software originally written for a NI6601 in Legacy NIDAQ to a USB 6210 in NIDAQmx. I am using the TwoEdgeSeparation task but I am having a problem finding an alternative to the GPCTR_Watch which I originally used to display progress to the operator. So originally I could tell from the counter contents if the counter had started (start pulse has arrived) . Detecting the arrival of the stop or timeout seems easy enough by checking that the task has finished.It's detecting the start pulse ( which can be too short to detect by a simple digital read) which is giving me a problem. Any ideas?
The resulting answer from Rich|NI suggested that I should be able to do this by examining the CI.Count property but this doesn't work for the 6210 but would be dealt with in future.
I am now porting my 6601 software from legacy to MX and encountering the same problem. Is there now a way of doing this seemingly simple task? (on the 6601 and the 6210).
