pause counter 6602

[Buchenberg]

Hi all,
 
I'm a newby in Labview and have a little problem.
 
I use the continious digital pulse generate Vi from the examples.
With a second Vi from the help i count the pulse which are generated by the other vi.
Now I want to pause and start the counting of the pulse again with a true/false Button, but I don't want to stop the counting task.
 
How can I do that?
 
I use Labview 8.01 and have the NI-6602 Card.
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Best regards

Hi Buchenberg, there is an Example, where you can test it, with an external Button/Trigger (see Attachment).I tried it with the Demobox(jpeg Attachment), there is an Digital Trigger on it, which is PFI0. Every time, if  I pressed the Trigger on this board, the VI counts.So you could wire an external switch, and use this to make a pause.Programmatically it is possible to pause the counter with start and stop trigger.Dippi
