Using an Analog Source
Some C Series modules can generate a trigger based on an analog signal. In NI-DAQmx, this is
called the Analog Comparison Event.
When you use an analog trigger source, the internal sample clock pauses when the Analog
Comparison Event signal is low and resumes when the signal goes high (or vice versa).
Note
Depending on the C Series module capabilities, you may need two modules
to utilize analog triggering.
Note
Pause triggers are only sensitive to the level of the source, not the edge.
Getting Started with AI Applications in Software
You can use the cDAQ chassis in the following analog input applications:
•
Single-point acquisition
•
Finite acquisition
•
Continuous acquisition
