Read signals from Pynq Z1 on digilent Digital Discovery kit

Hello,
I want to read the output of counter generated in Pynq z1 using Digital Discovery kit, so that I can verify its functionality.
Can I configure the outputs to my analog out pins in Pynq so that I can give them as input to my discovery kit ?

##ChipKit Digital I/O On Outer Analog Header
##NOTE: These pins should be used when using the analog header signals A0-A5 as digital I/O (Chipkit digital pins 14-19)

#set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN Y11 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { ck_io[14] }]; #IO_L18N_T2_13 Sch=ck_a[0]
#set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN Y12 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { ck_io[15] }]; #IO_L20P_T3_13 Sch=ck_a[1]
#set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN W11 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { ck_io[16] }]; #IO_L18P_T2_13 Sch=ck_a[2]
#set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN V11 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { ck_io[17] }]; #IO_L21P_T3_DQS_13 Sch=ck_a[3]
#set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN T5 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { ck_io[18] }]; #IO_L19P_T3_13 Sch=ck_a[4]
#set_property -dict { PACKAGE_PIN U10 IOSTANDARD LVCMOS33 } [get_ports { ck_io[19] }]; #IO_L12N_T1_MRCC_13 Sch=ck_a[5]

these are the pins I have used, Is this approach any good or is there any better alternative ?
