Subject: Confirmation Needed before purchasing: Continuous Pulse Counting at 22 MHz with NI PCI-6602.
Hi
I am currently working on a project where I need to count pulses from a Module, which outputs pulses (15nS) at a frequency of 22 MHz. I am considering using the NI PCI-6602 to perform this task and would like to confirm its capability to handle my requirements.
- Data Handling: I need to read and record the pulse count for each 100 µs interval continuously for a duration of 5 minutes.
- Data Transfer: The counter values need to be transferred to the PC efficiently without missing any pulses, ensuring that the transfer time does not delay the counting of subsequent intervals.
Can the NI PCI-6602 handle continuous counting of pulses at 22 MHz without missing any pulses?
Will the DMA transfer mechanism ensure efficient data transfer to the PC such that there is no delay affecting the next counting interval?
Are there any specific configurations or considerations I should be aware of to achieve this setup?
Thank you for your help!
