Generate two CO from one counter?

Hello,

 

I have a PCIe-6353 DAQ board, which has 4 clocks available. I am already using all four of them and am now looking for a way to make one of them available for another task.

 

This is what I would like to do but I am not sure if that is possible:

- ctr 0:  I generate one clock every 10 ms, which is used as trigger signal

- ctr 1   is set up to generate a clock every 10 us. The timing is set up finite output of 1000 samples, retriggerable and triggered by ctr0. This basically equals a constant pulse train

- ctr 2 is doing exactly the same as ctr1 except that a smaller number of clocks is generated.

 

Since ctr1 already defines the frequency etc,  do I really need ctr 2 to do the same just for defining a different number of output clocks? The only thing that changes beytween ctr1 and ctr2 is the DAQmx timing VI settings.

 

Thanks!
