provides four trigger routing modes from/to the PXI trigger connector to synchronize PXI
modules, including
•
From a selected trigger bus line to PXI trigger connector
•
From the PXI trigger connector to a selected trigger bus line
• From software trigger to a selected trigger bus line
• From software trigger to PXI trigger connector
All trigger modes are programmable by the provided driver. Please refer to Section A: PXI
Trigger I/O Function Reference for further information.
