Commands:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| StateInput: DevVoid Output: State |
This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StatusInput: DevVoid Output: DevString |
This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller. |
| StartInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Starts pulse generation. |
| StopInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Stops pulse generation. |
| ResetInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Reset the physical board. After this command, the board is in an unknown state (no more configured). The device must be initialized. |
| GetDriverVersionInput: DevVoid Output: DevString |
Gets the current board driver version. |

Properties:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| AutoStartDevBoolean | If true, the generation will start at device startup and when command ``Init`` is executed. |
| BoardTypeDevString | The Board Type Possible values: PXI-6602 |
| BoardIdString[]Type | Unique board identifier depending on manufacturer (e.g. Dev1 for NI 6602 board)`` |
| ChannelsString[]Type | List of active counters :: |
| ClockTypeDevString | Type of clock, which can be: INTERNAL or external (set a pin number in this case). Ex: PFIxx for NI board. |
| ExternalClockFrequencyDevDouble | In case of using an external clock, the frequency of this clock in Hz. |
| ExtStartTriggerEdgeDevString | External start trigger edge, among: RISING, FALLING. |
| ExtStartTriggerSourceDevString | Source pin number for external start trigger. Ex: PFIxx for NI board. |
| ExtStartTriggerUseDevBoolean | Enables or disables the use of external trigger to start the pulse generation. External start trigger mandatory in RETRIG mode. In other modes, if no external start trigger is set, an internal start trigger is generated by the Device. |
