Verifying the Operation of a Module

Testing Frequency Measurement

To verify that the module can perform a frequency measurement operation, do the following:

Wire an external clock source to counter/timer 0 on the DT9812, DT9813, or DT9814 Series
module. Refer to

page 40

for an example of how to connect signals to a counter/timer for

a frequency measurement operation.

Note:

The Quick DataAcq application works only with counter/timer 0.

In the Quick DataAcq application, choose

Frequency Counter

from the

Acquisition

menu.

Select the appropriate DT9812, DT9813, or DT9814 Series module from the

Board

list box.

In the

Count Duration

text box, enter the number of seconds during which events will be

counted.

Click

Start

to start the frequency measurement operation.

The operation automatically stops after the number of seconds you specified has elapsed, and the
application displays the frequency on the screen.

If you want to stop the frequency measurement operation when it is in progress, click

Stop
