NI 6001 device, counter physical channel problem

Hi,

I am an undergraduate student and a beginner in Labview and learned the basics of labview. I want to measure temperature by K-type thermocouple with my NI 6001 DAQmx USB device. I am not an engeneer in electronics but learned a little on how SPI(serial peripherial interference) works. I found and downloaded from ni.com a vi code that is for temperature measurement. I don't use DAQ assistant instead I use DAQmx. My problem is when I connect the USB to computer the physical channels for DI and DO lines immediately appear, however, for Counter channel it does not appear therefore I cannot choose any channel. Where is the mistake I am doing? I tried many times and coud not solve the problem. I hope any of experts can find an answer to my problem.

this is the link for the vi code:

Thanks in advance

Hi, I was not able to download the file, but since you are new in LabVIEW, I suggest you to use the LabVIEW examples in order to make the adquiring, On LabVIEW go to help>>find examples>>Hardware input and output>>DAQmx. There are many examples that you can use, it is very important to follow that structure.

Surely, and Hi 

 

the link is http://www.ni.com/example/31200/en/ , On the right side there is attachment, this is an already constructed vi for thermocouple. I have downloaded it and stuck my physical channels of my device. Normally The two channels for DI and DO works while the channel for counter does nor appear. What could be the problem?

 

thanks for care
