generate pulses on counter/timer device channels.
acquire digital data using a counter output channel to generate clock pulses.

featured examples

count pulses on a digital signal using ni devices

determine the rate of rotation of an anaheim automation motor controller by counting the number of rising edges in the signal. the controller returns hall effect pulses (square waves) that serve as frequency feedback for motor rotation speeds.

measure frequency using ni devices

measure frequency to determine rate of flow of fluid using a flow sensor. the sensor generates a digital signal with frequency that correlates to the rate of flow of fluid.

measure pulse width using ni devices

measure the width of an active high pulse. a sensor is used to measure distance from a point: the width of the pulse is correlated with the measured distance.

generate pulse width modulated signals using ni devices

generate a pulse width modulated signal to drive a stepper motor.
