Hi palmnz,

What specific question are you asking?  Since you posted to this thread, I'll assume your issue is the same as the original poster's:

I have a NI 6229 M series DAQ. I would like to perform a pulse width measurement using the same. There are two counters (ctr0 and ctr1) in the board. I would like to know if i can configure any PFI pin as a patricular counter's source / gate input??...

Yes, you can certainly do this.  The syntax would of course be different depending on what development environment you are using:

Routing the source:

1. LabVIEW: 
   
2. ANSI C:
   
       DAQmxSetCICtrTimebaseSrc
   
   
3. .NET
   
       CIChannel.CounterTimebaseSource
   
   

Routing the Gate:

1. LabVIEW
   
2. ANSI C:
   
       DAQmxSetCIPulseWidthTerm
   
   
3. .NET
   
       CIChannel.PulseWidthTerminal
   
   
   

If your question is different from the original poster's, please post to a new thread with more specific information about what you need to do.  Note that if you're not configuring a Pulse Width task then the property used for the Gate input would be slightly different and would correspond to the task type.

Best Regards,
