Description

The National InstrumentsNI671x cards feature analog inputs, analog outputs, digital I/O lines and counters. This block is used to control one of the two counters to perform frequency measurement on digital signals.

This block supports a list of PXI and PCI cards. For more card-specific information, please refer to NI documentation.

Parameters

Bus TypeSee the glossary definition.
Board TypeSelect the card model (6713 or 6711) on this list.
Card index (PCI/PXI index)See the glossary definition.
CounterEach board has two counters. Select the counter to be used (0 or 1)
Clock sourceSets the counting clock of the counter to either20MHz or 100kHz. Clock selection has a direct impact on resolution.
GateInput to be used for the counter.
Synchronize

See the glossary definition.


Inputs

This block has no inputs.

Outputs

FreqAt each calculation step, this outport returns the last frequency measurement performed by the NI671x counter.
