Pattern Generation Output
Two of the 8-bit ports can be configured for 16-bit pattern generation. The pattern can be updated synchronously
with an acquisition at up to 12 MHz.
Counters
One Counter Channel, Typical
Each of the four high-speed, 32-bit counter channels can be configured for counter, period, pulse width, time
between edges, or multi-axis quadrature encoder modes. Counter inputs can be scanned synchronously along
with analog and digital scanned inputs, based on an internal programmable timer, or an external clock source.

Five Programmable Modes
: Counter, Period, Pulsewidth, Timing, Encoder
1. Counter Mode Options
: Totalize, Clear on Read, Rollover, Stop at all Fs, 16-bit or 32-bit, any other
channel can gate or decrement the counter
2. Period Mode Options

choose from (20.83 ns, 208.3 ns, 2.083 µs, 20.83 µs), any other channel can gate the period measurement
3. Pulsewidth Mode Options
: 16-bit or 32-bit values, 4 time bases to choose from (20.83 ns, 208.3 ns,
2.083 µs, 20.83 µs), any other channel can gate the pulsewidth measurement
4. Timing Mode Options

5. Encoder Mode Options
: x1, x2, x4 options, 16-bit or 32-bit values, Z-channel clearing of the counter,
any other channel can gate the counter
