using the NI 9401 for verification, refer to the 

NI 9924 User Guide and Specifications

 for

installation information.

Note

 (cDAQ-9172)

 You must install the C Series digital module in slot 5 or 6 of

the chassis.

Counter Verification

CompactDAQ chassis and controllers have only one timebase to verify, so only Counter 0
needs to be checked. It is not possible to adjust this timebase, so only verification can be
performed. Complete the following steps to verify the counter on the cDAQ chassis or
controller.
1.

Connect the external counter to the C Series digital module.

(NI 9401)

 Connect the positive input of CHANNEL 1 to DIO 3 (pin 19) and the

negative input to COM (pin 1) using a BNC-to-leads cable, as shown in the
following figure.
