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 |
Start generations of pulses. |
| StopInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Stop generations of pulses. |
| AbortInput: DevVoid Output: DevVoid |
Abort generations. |
| ResetBoardInput: 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 |
Get the current version of the driver installed for NI counter boards. |
| GetBoardsInChassisInput: DevVoid Output: DevString |
Get a string containing all the boards names (from NI) present in the chassis where this device is running. This names are defined in MAX. |
| GetBoardTypeInput: DevString Output: DevString |
Returns the type (ex: PXI-6602) of a specified board. |

Properties:
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| TriggerSourceDevString | The name of the terminal for the input trigger as specified by NI (PFIxx). The trigger can be configured as following: - for finite and continuous modes, this trigger can be used as a start trigger (cf UseExtStartTrigger). If no start trigger is used, a counter of the board will be used to start all the other counters. - for retrig mode, each trigger will launch the generation of a pulses train. So the possible values are PFIxx |
| BoardNameDevString | The name of the board. |
| AutoStartDevBoolean | If true, the generation will start at device startup and when command ``Init`` is executed. |
| ClockDevString | The clock used. Possible values are ``INTERNAL`` or ``PFIxx``, with xx the pin number. |
| ExternalFrequencyDevDouble | In case of using an external clock, the frequency of this clock in Hz. |
| IdleStateCounter0DevString | cCan be LOW or HIGH. |
| IdleStateCounter1DevString | — |
| IdleStateCounter2DevString | — |
| IdleStateCounter3DevString | — |
| IdleStateCounter4DevString | — |
| IdleStateCounter5DevString | — |
| IdleStateCounter6DevString | — |
| IdleStateCounter7DevString | — |
| UseExtStartTriggerDevBoolean | If true, use the TriggerSource to start the generation in Finite or Continuous Mode. |
| TriggerEdgeDevString | values : POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. Set if the external trigger is posivite edge or negative edge. |
