Counter/Timer Overview

Counter/Timer OverviewYou can use the versatile National Instruments counter/timer devicesto create a wide variety ofmeasurement solutions,includingmeasuring a number oftime-related quantities,counting events ortotalizing,and monitoring position with quadrature encoders.You can also use counter/timers to generate pulses and pulse trains.Counter/timers often fulfill critical timing functions as componentsofcomplex measurement systems.

The NI 660x counter/timers use the NI-TIO,a NationalInstruments ASIC chip specifically designed to meet the countingand timing requirements ofmeasurement applications that arebeyond the capabilities ofoff-the-shelfcomponents.The widerfunctionality and simple programming interface make the NI 660xyour best choice for counting and timing applications.

Example applications include frequency measurement,positionmeasurement,generation ofretriggerable pulses,frequency shift-keying,two-signal edge separation measurements,continuousbuffered event counting,and continuous buffered pulse trainmeasurements.The NI 660x counter/timer devices are readilyintegrated into measurement systems that require synchronizationacross multiple hardware devices because they are equipped with theNational Instruments PXI trigger bus or the RTSI bus.See thecounter/timer tutorial on page 789 for more information.

In addition to counter/timer functionality,the NI 660x productsinclude TTL/CMOS-compatible digital I/O ports that are bitconfigurable for input or output.

Counter/Timer Size or Number of Bits

The counter size or number ofbits indicates how high a counter cancount.For example,a 32-bit counter can count up to 232-1 or4,294,967,295 before it rolls over.A high number ofbits is beneficialin cases such as pulse width measurements where a wide dynamicrange is required.For example,ifyou measure pulse widths with a12.5 ns resolution (80 MHz timebase) using a counter/timer with 32 bits,you can measure pulse widths up to 53 s [(232-1) x 12.5 ns)]with 12.5 ns resolution.

Data Acquisition andSignal ConditioningCounter/Timer Considerations

Number of Counter/Timers

The counter/timer is a basic unit ofhardware functionality on ameasurement device.The more counter/timers there are on a device,the more counting/timing operations that device can simultaneouslyperform.The number ofDMA channels determines how manybuffered,high-speed operations can be simultaneously performed.See page 393 for more information.

Maximum Source Frequency

Maximum source frequency represents the speed ofthe fastest signalthe counter can count.Ifyou use a higher source frequency,you canachieve higher resolution.For example,an 80 MHz counter cancount pulses that are 12.5 ns (1⁄80 x 10) apart.You can use prescalers toincrease the maximum source frequency for event counting andfrequency measurement.

Counter/Timer Overview

Counter/Timer OverviewSignal Compatibility

Signal compatibility indicates the signal levels a counter/timer canmeasure or output,such as TTL/CMOS.

Units used for stability are typically parts per million (ppm) andparts per billion (ppb).For example,the frequency ofa 10 MHzoscillator with 10 ppm stability can be 10 MHz ±100 Hz;with 100 ppb stability it can be 10 MHz ±1 Hz.

The best technique for improving oscillator stability is to preciselycontrol its temperature as is done in an oven-controlled crystaloscillator (OCXO).The PXI-6608 features such an oscillator.

Buffered Operations and DMA

The National Instruments counter/timers can capture numerousdata points without dead times.These types ofmeasurements,calledbuffered operations,are valuable in applications that range fromstatistical analysis on production lines to experiments in molecularchemistry.For instance,when you configure a counter for bufferedperiod measurement,data is moved from the counter into a buffer.Each edge that initiates a measurement also causes a transfer ofthecount into the buffer,as shown in Figure 1.With buffered operations,data is transferred to the computer memory using DMA orinterrupts.DMA offers a considerable performance advantage;ifyour application requires this performance simultaneously onmultiple counter/timers,you must know how many DMA channelsare available on a particular counter/timer device.For example,ifadevice contains three DMA channels and eight counter/timers,you can simultaneously perform three high-speed and five lower-speed,interrupt-based,buffered operations.On NI 660x devices,National Instruments implements DMA with the NI MITE chip,which is optimized for measurement applications.

Debouncing and Glitch Removal

Noisy signals containing glitches and/or bouncing effects posespecial challenges for some counter/timer measurements.Noise maybe introduced in the source ofthe signal,such as withelectromechanical relays,or in the connection ifthere are strongsources ofinterference in the vicinity ofthe system.NI 660x devicescontain programmable digital filters that eliminate measurementerrors caused by spurious spikes and bouncing.Figure 2 shows anexample ofdigital filtering.

Calibration

Calibration is a key component ofany measurement solution.In thecase ofcounter/timers,timebase calibration ensures that thefrequency and time measurements are accurate.Calibrationcertificates enclosed with the National Instruments counter/timersand periodic calibration satisfy your ISO-9000 requirements,certifying that your instrument has been properly calibrated.Seepage 21 for more information.

Data Acquisition andSignal ConditioningTimebase Stability

Timebase stability can be important when you need to make high-quality measurements.Crystal oscillators typically form the basis ofelectrical circuits used to drive timing ofa measurement application.In an ideal case,the oscillation frequency would be constant,but inreality,many factors influence the the behavior ofan oscillator.A commonly used measure ofquality for an oscillator is stability.

32-Bit Counter/Timers

32-Bit Counter/TimersHigh-Stability, Oven-Controlled Oscillator

The NI PXI-6608 module includes a high-stability 10 MHz oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) for high-precisionapplications.When the PXI-6608 is installed in the star trigger slotofa PXI chassis (Slot 2),you can drive the OCXO signal to the PXIbackplane for high-stability timing ofyour entire measurementsystem.The PXI-6602 and PXI-6608 feature phase-lock loop (PLL)circuitry so that the devices can synchronize their reference clocksto the backplane.

Synchronizing Networked Measurements with GPS

You can correlate measurements performed in a wide area using theGlobal Positioning System (GPS).With the PXI-6608,you cancorrelate data from several PXI chassis,determine the time when ahardware event occurs,or generate a pulse at a user-specified time.

I/O Connector

The NI 660x devices each have a 68-pin shielded,latching connector,with a SOURCE,GATE,UP/DOWN,and OUT signal for each ofthecounter/timers.PFI<8..31> can be used as general-purpose DIOlines when not used as counter/timer I/O signals.The DIOn lines arethe eight dedicated DIO lines.The PCI-6601 devices have the sameI/O interface,except that only counters 0-3 are present.

Debouncing and Glitch Removal

Each input on the NI 660x devices can be passed through a digitaldebouncing filter to eliminate glitches on the input signal.You canuse defined filter settings to remove noise/glitches narrower than 2.5 µs,500 ns,250 ns,and 50 ns from your input signal,or you can use oneofthe counters to create custom filter settings.

Driver Software

With NI-DAQ driver software,you can configure your devicesinteractively,write custom programs,and perform counter/timerI/O easily.NI-DAQ provides the counter/timer functions natively,so you can programmatically select whether you want to measureposition with a quadrature encoder,measure a frequency,outputa pulse train,or perform one ofthe other provided counter/timerfunctions.NI-DAQ also includes numerous example programs for LabVIEW and other ADEs to quickly get you started with your application.

Buffered Measurements

NI 660x devices use the National Instruments MITE bus interfacecontroller to implement bus-master DMA transfers.As a result,you can perform high-speed,continuous operations such asbuffered position encoder measurement and buffered periodmeasurement.You can perform one high-speed DMA-basedtransfer on the NI 6601 devices and up to three simultaneousDMA transfers on the NI 6602 and NI 6608 devices.You can useinterrupts for additional simultaneous buffered transfers.

Counter/Timer Overview

Counter/Timer OverviewYou can use the versatile National Instruments counter/timer devicesto create a wide variety ofmeasurement solutions,includingmeasuring a number oftime-related quantities,counting events ortotalizing,and monitoring position with quadrature encoders.You can also use counter/timers to generate pulses and pulse trains.Counter/timers often fulfill critical timing functions as componentsofcomplex measurement systems.

The NI 660x counter/timers use the NI-TIO,a NationalInstruments ASIC chip specifically designed to meet the countingand timing requirements ofmeasurement applications that arebeyond the capabilities ofoff-the-shelfcomponents.The widerfunctionality and simple programming interface make the NI 660xyour best choice for counting and timing applications.

Example applications include frequency measurement,positionmeasurement,generation ofretriggerable pulses,frequency shift-keying,two-signal edge separation measurements,continuousbuffered event counting,and continuous buffered pulse trainmeasurements.The NI 660x counter/timer devices are readilyintegrated into measurement systems that require synchronizationacross multiple hardware devices because they are equipped with theNational Instruments PXI trigger bus or the RTSI bus.See thecounter/timer tutorial on page 789 for more information.

In addition to counter/timer functionality,the NI 660x productsinclude TTL/CMOS-compatible digital I/O ports that are bitconfigurable for input or output.

Counter/Timer Size or Number of Bits

The counter size or number ofbits indicates how high a counter cancount.For example,a 32-bit counter can count up to 232-1 or4,294,967,295 before it rolls over.A high number ofbits is beneficialin cases such as pulse width measurements where a wide dynamicrange is required.For example,ifyou measure pulse widths with a12.5 ns resolution (80 MHz timebase) using a counter/timer with 32 bits,you can measure pulse widths up to 53 s [(232-1) x 12.5 ns)]with 12.5 ns resolution.

Data Acquisition andSignal ConditioningCounter/Timer Considerations

Number of Counter/Timers

The counter/timer is a basic unit ofhardware functionality on ameasurement device.The more counter/timers there are on a device,the more counting/timing operations that device can simultaneouslyperform.The number ofDMA channels determines how manybuffered,high-speed operations can be simultaneously performed.See page 393 for more information.

Maximum Source Frequency

Maximum source frequency represents the speed ofthe fastest signalthe counter can count.Ifyou use a higher source frequency,you canachieve higher resolution.For example,an 80 MHz counter cancount pulses that are 12.5 ns (1⁄80 x 10) apart.You can use prescalers toincrease the maximum source frequency for event counting andfrequency measurement.

1Max Source Frequency with prescalers is 60 MHz for the NI 6601 and 125 MHz for the NI 6602 and NI 6608. These frequencies are dependent on drive strength of input signal and cable length. Consider these speeds to be the maximum. 2DMA transfers have higher throughput than interrupt transfers. See page 393 for detailed specifications.

Counter/Timer Overview

Counter/Timer OverviewSignal Compatibility

Signal compatibility indicates the signal levels a counter/timer canmeasure or output,such as TTL/CMOS.

Units used for stability are typically parts per million (ppm) andparts per billion (ppb).For example,the frequency ofa 10 MHzoscillator with 10 ppm stability can be 10 MHz ±100 Hz;with 100 ppb stability it can be 10 MHz ±1 Hz.

The best technique for improving oscillator stability is to preciselycontrol its temperature as is done in an oven-controlled crystaloscillator (OCXO).The PXI-6608 features such an oscillator.

Buffered Operations and DMA

The National Instruments counter/timers can capture numerousdata points without dead times.These types ofmeasurements,calledbuffered operations,are valuable in applications that range fromstatistical analysis on production lines to experiments in molecularchemistry.For instance,when you configure a counter for bufferedperiod measurement,data is moved from the counter into a buffer.Each edge that initiates a measurement also causes a transfer ofthecount into the buffer,as shown in Figure 1.With buffered operations,data is transferred to the computer memory using DMA orinterrupts.DMA offers a considerable performance advantage;ifyour application requires this performance simultaneously onmultiple counter/timers,you must know how many DMA channelsare available on a particular counter/timer device.For example,ifadevice contains three DMA channels and eight counter/timers,you can simultaneously perform three high-speed and five lower-speed,interrupt-based,buffered operations.On NI 660x devices,National Instruments implements DMA with the NI MITE chip,which is optimized for measurement applications.

Debouncing and Glitch Removal

Noisy signals containing glitches and/or bouncing effects posespecial challenges for some counter/timer measurements.Noise maybe introduced in the source ofthe signal,such as withelectromechanical relays,or in the connection ifthere are strongsources ofinterference in the vicinity ofthe system.NI 660x devicescontain programmable digital filters that eliminate measurementerrors caused by spurious spikes and bouncing.Figure 2 shows anexample ofdigital filtering.

Calibration

Calibration is a key component ofany measurement solution.In thecase ofcounter/timers,timebase calibration ensures that thefrequency and time measurements are accurate.Calibrationcertificates enclosed with the National Instruments counter/timersand periodic calibration satisfy your ISO-9000 requirements,certifying that your instrument has been properly calibrated.Seepage 21 for more information.

Data Acquisition andSignal ConditioningTimebase Stability

Timebase stability can be important when you need to make high-quality measurements.Crystal oscillators typically form the basis ofelectrical circuits used to drive timing ofa measurement application.In an ideal case,the oscillation frequency would be constant,but inreality,many factors influence the the behavior ofan oscillator.A commonly used measure ofquality for an oscillator is stability.
