    General-purpose counter/timer functions—two 24-bit counters The groups can be configured independently with timing resolutions of 50 ns or 10 µs. With the DAQ-STC, you can interconnect a wide variety of internal timing signals to other internal blocks. The interconnection scheme is quite flexible and completely software configurable.

  • Page 87 Will the counter/timer applications that I wrote previously work with the DAQ-STC? If you are using NI-DAQ with LabVIEW, some of your applications drawn using the CTR VIs will still run.

  • Page 96 FIFO first-in first-out memory buffer—the first data stored is the first data sent to the acceptor. FIFOs are often used on DAQ devices to temporarily store incoming or outgoing data until that data can be retrieved or output. For example, an analog input FIFO stores the results of A/D conversions until the data can be retrieved into system memory, a process that requires the servicing of interrupts and often the programming of the DMA controller.
