Example Python code for configuring PWM on USB-CTR04

[DAQNoob]

Hi,

I thought I could reuse PWM code from a USB-1608G module in the USB-CTR04 but get a ULError "Invalid counter device".

Is this expected? I was under the impression that the USB-CTR04 had an internal timebase, like the USB-1608G does for PWM generation on TMR0.

If it doesn't, is there example python code to show how to configure the USB-CTR04 for PWM generation on TMR0-3?

Update: I was able to configure TMR0 on two USB-CTR04 modules as done on the USB-1608 but TMR1/TMR2 (same config) are not working.

I think my issue is in understanding external/internal port/channel mapping. If I am reading the internal channel config correctly:

for channel in ctr_info.chan_info:
    if channel.type == CounterChannelType.CTRPULSE:
        print(f'CTRPULSE Channel(s): {channel.channel_num}')

CTRPULSE Channel(s): 0 CTRPULSE Channel(s): 1 CTRPULSE Channel(s): 2 CTRPULSE Channel(s): 3

map to TMR0-3

Hello @DAQNoob.

The MCC USB-CTR04 and MCC USB-1608G support PWM with the Timer output subsystem and both are supported by the MCC mcculw Python library and MCC UL for Linux Python API (ULDAQ).
