I guess I should have added that I'm using an E-series pci card (no
PXI) with a BNC-2110 breakout box. I'll have to plead ignorance as to
how to connect these signals, is this a software routing? Thanks for
the help.
actually the card is a PCI-MIO 16E-1. On a PXI-6025E that we have, I
see that there are hardware connections for all the aforementioned
signals. I don't think the gates are available on the 16E-1 combined
with the BNC-2110. So is such a trigger possible with my setup or
should I be using some
Dave...there shouldn't be any reason why you couldn't do this with the
16E-1 adn the BNC-2110. On the 2110 there is a BNC for counter0
output. You need to wire this into User1 BNC and wire that to PFI4
which is the gate of counter1. Then you can wire your trigger into
PFI0 which is also a BNC
Dave,
Here are links to the user manuals for the PCI-MIO-16E-1 and the
BNC-2110. These manuals should help you understand the signal
connections a little better:

Hello, I would like to generate a pulse train that has a coulpe cycles
from high to low, then remains low for awhile, and repeats the
sequence. Here is a little ascii waveform of what I want to do:

What I believe you want to do is a retriggerable pulse train
generation (this is assuming the pulse is a consistent frequency/duty
cycle when on). There is a DAQmx example called multi-function Ctr
Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample clock which should give
you a good starting point
