COChannelConstrainedGenerationMode Property
Specifies constraints to apply when the counter generates pulses. Constraining the counter reduces the device resources required for counter operation. Constraining the counter can also allow additional analog or counter tasks on the device to run concurrently. For continuous counter tasks, NI-DAQmx consumes no device resources when the counter is constrained. For finite counter tasks, resource use increases with the frequency regardless of the constraint mode. However, fixed frequency constraints significantly reduce resource usage, and fixed duty cycle constraint marginally reduces it.
