What are the counter channels on PXIe-6361 pin-out diagram

[Larrage]

Hello,

I defined three counters channels using DAQ assistant for the PXIe-6361 board (ctr0, ctr1, ctr2). I did not see explicit labels on the pin-out diagram for the PXIe-6361 card that indicate where these counters are. Can anyone point me out what are the pins / labels on the pin-out diagram for these counters?

Thanks much

Hi Larrage,

The best way to find the default pins is using the DAQmx Help file. You can reach this in MAX by clicking on Help>>Help Topics>>NI-DAQmx>>NI-DAQmx Help. In the help file, you can search for "Connecting Counter Signals" and select the link for the series card you have (X Series in this case). 

In your case, the default counter output terminals for ctr0, ctr1, and ctr2 would be PFI 12, PFI 13, and PFI 14, respectively. The counter inputs (for counting edges) would be PFI 8, PFI 3, and PFI 0 for the same counters. You can change the input/output terminals for counters in your VI or MAX, but these are the defaults for the card.

Thanks! This should do it.
