Hi, i have a NI 9401 in a cDAQ-9171.
I'm trying to generate 4 continuous pulse trains, each with a different initial delay, in order to have staggered (in time) pulse trains. For this, I basically added 3 counters in the "Counter - continuous output.vi" from Labview Examples. In the past, i've done something similar with a PCI 6602 and it worked well. Here, with the NI 9401, my oscilloscope shows that the pulse trains are not well synchronised: With all initial delays at 0, the pulse trains are not simultaneous.
Can the NI 9401 not generate 4 simultaneous pulse trains? Or am I coding this wrong?
Attached is an example of my VI with only 2 counters, ie I added one counter to the "Counter - continuous output.vi" from the Labview Examples.
THanks!!!
