It looks like you want this vi to count events until you reach some specified target value ('Pulsos'), then stop the counter. It sounds like you'd like the counter's output to toggle high the instant you start counting and toggle low as soon as a certain count is reached.
First off, I'm pretty sure you can't get hardware-timed behavior quite like that. That being said, your posted example appears to rely on software timing anyway -- attempting to call 'Counter Set Attribute' to toggle the output. Soooooo.... why not simply use a digital bit that you can also software time to turn on and off?
Here's a small modification of your example that toggles a digital bit high when the counter is started and toggles low when your target count is re
ached. In your real application, some of the config should probably be done outside this vi, but this'll give you the general idea.
