Remove counter output route

I have a PXI-6251 card. To trigger simultaneous analog and digital output, I use one of the counters. Since I use all digital lines, I would like to not have the counter output on any of the lines.

Is there a way to remove the counter output from PXI12?

 

Thanks,

Jonas

Jonas,

I am not sure what you mean by 'remove'. You can internally re route counter signals, I have attached a link to explain. If thats not what you meant please clarify what you mean andI will be happy to assist you further.

Thanks, I saw that. I was just wondering whether instead of rerouting I can remove a signal from physical pins completely.

This should work:

Hi John,

 

Thanks for your suggestion. It seems to work – sometimes.

Since I did not have the time to investigate why it doesn't work all the time, I just repurposed another DIO card for my digital needs, so I don't have to free up this line.

Thanks again.

If you're not explicitly enforcing the start order of your tasks (e.g. through error chaining) then this might explain the inconsistent results.
