Hi Group,
Been searching an trying many things to find a solution. I know there is one but just can't seem to get it right.
I have two devices which supply TTL pulses which I need to count. Ctr 1 will be used as a master clock, Ctr 2 will be used to count pulses from the other device based upon a finite number of ticks from counter 1.
Both pulses are asynchronus, and run continuously. For instance I want Ctr 1 to read 500 pulses from device 1, and concurrently read pulses from device 2. Both signals are relatively low freq (<10kHz). I would like to start and stop both counters with the same clock, but realize this might be an issue with my X Series USB MIO
At the conclusion of counting the 500 pulses from device 1, I want end the while loop and read the accrued pulses from both devices.
A little error is tolerable on the second counter, as to it generally being a higher freq than counter 1 source.
I'm thinking that the two-edge seperation technique is what's needed, but just can't seem to get there.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
