Short Name: CI.Period.MeasMeth

Property of DAQmx Channel

Specifies the method to use to measure the period of the signal.

Low Frequency with 1 Counter (10105) Use one counter that uses a constant timebase to measure the input signal.
High Frequency with 2 Counters (10157) Use two counters, one of which counts pulses of the signal to measure during the specified measurement time.
Large Range with 2 Counters (10205) Use one counter to divide the frequency of the input signal to create a lower-frequency signal that the second counter can more easily measure.
