Pulse Train Generation; Single Pulse Generation With Start Trigger - National Instruments NI cRIO-905x Series User Manual

You can specify a pulse width. The pulse width is also measured in terms of a number of
active edges of the Source input. You also can specify the active edge of the Source input
(rising or falling).
The following figure shows a generation of a pulse with a pulse delay of four and a pulse
width of three (using the rising edge of Source).

Single Pulse Generation with Start Trigger

The counter can output a single pulse in response to one pulse on a hardware Start Trigger
signal. The pulse appears on the Counter n Internal Output signal of the counter.
You can specify a delay from the Start Trigger to the beginning of the pulse. You also can
specify the pulse width. The delay is measured in terms of a number of active edges of the
Source input.
You can specify a pulse width. The pulse width is also measured in terms of a number of
active edges of the Source input. You can also specify the active edge of the Source input
(rising and falling).
The following figure shows a generation of a pulse with a pulse delay of four and a pulse
width of three (using the rising edge of Source).
