Dear all,
I have a CountEdge signal from the DAQ. This counts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ... . So it adds one step each count. I need a single number at a step only. So I want that it counts 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, ... . Is there any function to change the signal from the DAQ into the signal I actually need? I don't want to change the set up of the DAQ.

3 quick thoughts:
1. You could leave the DAQ config alone and do this in software by doing a finite difference
2. There are ways to do this in hw for many daq boards, but the method may depend on details
of the signal(s) in question
3. An array full of 1's doesn't strike me as particularly information-rich. What are you trying
to characterize and why?

Dear Kevin,
I need to measure when a number is changing and how much the distance is. So I need 1, 1, 1's to let that run in parallel to a timer. I don't need the total value which makes for me no sence.
I will try these finite difference.
