Issue Details

Can I display the signal of a DAQmx Counter Output task in a waveform graph in LabVIEW?

Solution

While it is possible to display the signal of a DAQmx Analog Output task in a Waveform Graph in LabVIEW as shown in the picture below, the same concept cannot be applied to a DAQmx Counter Output task.
 

However, it is possible to wire the counter output signal to an available analog input channel of your NI data acquisition device. To display the signal, you can use the following methods.
