TTL trigger signal (CO) using USB-6001 DAQ card

$

Hi,

 

I have a running setup with different counter outputs and synchronization using PCIe 6353. I now want to copy a very simple part of the code/application, which basically just sends a TTL signal to trigger an external device somewhere between 10 Hz - 120 kHz. Since getting another 6353 would be total overkill, I want to use a simple USB DAQ card, if possible USB-6001 - but I don't have it yet.

 

If possible, I would like to use my code with as little changes as possible.

Knowing the 'Sample Clock Timebase' of the PCI-6353 (100 MHz), I am currently defining my task using the CO Pulse ticks.   

When I simulate the USB-6001 in NI MAX and simply want to check the CO timebase, I cannot even select the counter of the simulated device 3.

 

If I read the manual correctly, there should be one counter that I can use to trigger external devices.

1)  Can the USB-6001 do what I want - create a TTL output between 10 Hz and 120kHz?

2)  How can I configure that? CO does not seem to work with the simulated device or maybe I am doing something wrong?!

 

Thank you!
