 Pulse Measurement

Create Channel

To make a Pulse measurement, first create a virtual channel. Use one of following three VIs or 
functions depending on the type of data you want DAQmx to return: 
•

DAQmx Create Channel (CI-Pulse Freq)

—For each measurement, return the frequency 

and the duty cycle of the signal-to-measure.

•

DAQmx Create Channel (CI-Pulse Time)

—For each measurement, return the high and 

low times of the pulse in seconds.

•

DAQmx Create Channel (CI-Pulse Ticks)

—For each measurement, return the high and 

low times of the pulse in ticks of the counter timebase.

Channel Settings

By default, the counter:
•

measures the pulse on a default PFI terminal. Refer to Chapter 5, 

Counter Signal Routing 

and Clock Generation

, for more information.

•

begins measuring on a rising edge. That is, the counter measures the pulse high time first, 
then the low time.

You can change these behaviors by configuring the following DAQmx Channel properties:
•

The signal-to-measure comes from an input terminal. To change the signal-to-measure, 
select the appropriate property from the following list that corresponds to the type of 
channel created, and then set this property to a different terminal.
