Hi! I need to write a VI with a pulse counter employing fieldpoint. Here's my problem: I have an energy meter with pulse output. I can set pulse frequency, pulse lenght and number of pulses for kWh. I have to read the signal from that instrument but I don't really understand how. I mean, I do not have to measure the frequency of the pulses 'cos I already set it, I'd rather read the signal from the meter in a specified period of time and count the number of pulses in that time. How can I do that?
I can both connect the meter to a cFP AI-110 or cFP CTR500. There are mainly two things I don't understand:
-how can I count the pulses in, let's say, 30 s?
-how can I define the reset condition?
Thanks!
