PFI 0 and PFI 1
Using PFI 0 as a Counter Source
You can configure PFI 0 as a source for counting digital edges. In this mode, rising- or
falling-edges are counted using a 32-bit counter. For more information, refer to the
NI USB-6000
Specifications
document.
Using PFI 1 to Trigger an Analog Input Acquisition
You can configure an analog input task to wait for an edge on PFI 1 before starting the
acquisition. To do this, configure the AI Start Trigger source to be PFI 1 and specify either
rising- or falling-edge.
