Seeking "Clear on read" property for CTR04 Counter in ULx LabView

[wiwo-Andrew]

Hi, I am working with a USB-CTR04, and want to configure a counter channel to be "clear on read" instead of always accumulating. I see this in the python interface, but not in the labview interface. Is there a hidden property for this in labview in the ULx library?

As well, I would like to set the tick size, but that's also not visible in the ULx tasks.

 

Thanks for any pointers.

Hello @wiwo-Andrew

Please see the attached example.

In short, some UL library features such as 'Clear On Read' can be accessed via a LabVIEW Property Node.vi

ULx Count Digital Events_ClearOnRead.vi

Thanks, @Jeffrey, that did the trick and we're good.

Have I overlooked, somewhere, a thorough map of all the USB-CTR04 properties that the task nodes can expose?

There is this topic in the ULx for NI LabVIEW help:

Yes. I guess one just needs to wade through all the possible options.

It's too bad if there's no other document describing what the various properties are, and why one might use them, and what they accomplish.

Have you seen this:

https://www.mccdaq.com/pdfs/manuals/Mcculw_WebHelp/ULStart.htm

if has the most comprehensive information on the hardware supported features, but it is mostly for the Universal Library (syntax programming).
