I was trying to generate a 50ms pulse on the PFI12 line using counter-0 in the NI-6345 card. The following code from the NI git repository giving a timeout error
https://github.com/ni/nidaqmx-python/blob/master/examples/counter_out/write_single_dig_pulse.py
"""Example for generating a single digital pulse.
This example demonstrates how to generate a single digital pulse
from a Counter Output Channel. The Initial Delay, High Time, Low
Time, and Idle State are all configurable.
"""
import nidaqmx
from nidaqmx.constants import Level
with nidaqmx.Task() as task:
channel = task.co_channels.add_co_pulse_chan_time(
"Dev1/ctr0", idle_state=Level.LOW, initial_delay=0.0, low_time=0.05, high_time=0.05
)
channel.co_pulse_term = "/Dev1/PFI12"
task.start()
task.wait_until_done(timeout=10)
task.stop()
Error :
task.wait_until_done(timeout=2)

Increase the timeout, check the program, and make sure connections for external timing and triggering are in place.
Task Name: _unnamedTask<0>

am I missing any configuration here?
Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated
