Using a Digital Source
To
u
se DO Start Trigger, specify a so
u
rce and an edge. The so
u
rce can be
one of the following signals:
•
A p

lse initiated by host software
•
PFI <0..15>
•
RTSI <0..7>
•
AI Reference Trigger (ai/ReferenceTrigger)
•
AI Start Trigger (ai/StartTrigger)

The so
u
rce also can be one of several internal signals on yo
u
r DAQ device.
Refer to
Device Routing in MAX
in the
NI-DAQmx Help
or the
LabVIEW
Help
for more information.
Yo
u
also can specify whether the waveform generation begins on the rising
edge or falling edge of DO Start Trigger.
Using an Analog Source
When yo
u
u
se an analog trigger so
u
rce, the waveform generation begins on
the first rising or falling edge of the Analog Comparison Event signal.
Refer to the
Triggering with an Analog Source
section of Chapter 11,
Triggering
, for more information.
