Gating Modes
Gating mode refers to how the counter/timer uses the Gate input. Some timing operations depend
on the gating mode. Depending on the application, the counter/timers either level gating mode
or edge gating mode.
In NI-DAQmx, the counter/timers use level gating mode for the following measurements:
• Edge counting
• Pulse width measurements
• Two-signal edge separation measurements
All other measurements use edge gating mode.
