Counting the number of samples when all counters are being used

$

Hi All,

 

I'm using PXI-6284 which has 2 counters on it, and I'm outputting 2 pulse trains using these 2 counters. Using an "elapsed time" function to control the number of pulses is not very accurate and I cannot use the finite samples option as there are no free counters.

 

How can I use the elapsed time function to control the output roughly, and then after the fact get the actual number of pulses that were made? CO.Count is not very useful here.

 

I need to be able to compare the number of pulses made with the PXI module against the number counted by the microcontroller on my DUT.

 

Please help.

 

Best,

Adrian
