Can a cFP-CTR-502 Module Measure a 50 kHz Signal?

Hardware: PXI/CompactPCI>>Controllers

Problem:
I would like to sample a 50 kHz signal with my cFP-CTR-502 module, but the internal frequency references are 1 kHz and 32 kHz.

Solution:
The cFP-CTR-502 module can measure pulses up to 50 kHz.  The only requirement for doing this is that the minimum pulse width is 10 microseconds.  The 1 kHz and 32 kHz internal time bases are only used for generating pulses internally to be counted.

The KnowledgeBase referenced in the Related Links section, How Do I Connect Two Sinking I/O or Two Sourcing I/O Together?, can be referenced to see how to connect a sourcing output to a sourcing input so that you can use the cFP-CTR-502 for measuring a 50 kHz signal.
