Appendix A - PXIe Trigger I/O Function Reference
This appendix describes use of the PXIe trigger I/O function library for the PXIe-63935
controller, to program routing of trigger signals between the trigger I/O SMB connector on
the front panel and the PXIe trigger bus on the backplane.
A�1 Data Types
The PXIe-63935 library uses these data types in pxitrigio.h in the directory X:\JYTEK\PXIe
Trigger IO\Include. It is recommended that you use these data types in your application
programs. The table shows the data type names, ranges, and corresponding data types in
C/C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi for reference.
