I need to generate a single pulse on two channels with precise timing to trigger lab equipment. Please see image below. I haven't found any examples with multiple channel pulse generation.
Hardware:
We are currently using a myDAQ. We also have a NI-9401 digital IO module but supervisor would prefer to use myDAQ if possible.
Work so far:
(Please see LabVIEW attached)
I've tried writing a LabVIEW program using two "ctr" (so it wouldn't run on myDAQ). Channel 2 triggers off channel 1. One issue already is that initalDelay2 must be greater than initialDelay1. I haven't been able to test it but I do have an error with simulated hardware (ERROR: "Lines 0 through 3 of this port are configured for input. Cannot configure these lines for output at this time.")
Questions:
1. Can myDAQ be used? Or do we need multiple "ctr" (e.g. NI-9401)?
2. Am I on the right track? (considering adding analog input and other control later)
Thanks!
