route 6612

[Alexander_Sobolev]

PCIe-6612, LabVIEW 2011.

I want to directly route digital signal (up to 10 MHz) from one PFI (source PFI19) to another (PFI17). Routing table says it will be using counter 7, that is already used in my application, so I have to route manually.

What is the correct way to do it, not to disturb signal and use minimum resources? 

DAQmx connect PFI 19 to say Ctr5Gate, then Ctr5Gate to PFI17? This sacrifices counter5. Both routes have direct connection in routing table. It seems to work, is it the best/correct way?

Yes, using a counter to internally route PFI 19 and PFI 17 is a correct way, but like you said, if you need to use that counter, than it might not be the best way. Using an external wire to loopback the signal between the PFI lines can also work and be a simple solution.
