PFI 6/AO START TRIG Timing Behavior
The PFI 6/AO START TRIG pin is configured as an input by default.
AO Pause Trigger Signal
You can use the AO Pause trigger signal (ao/PauseTrigger) to mask off
samples in a DAQ sequence. That is, when ao/PauseTrigger is active, no
samples occur.
The ao/PauseTrigger does not stop a sample that is in progress. The pause
does not take effect until the beginning of the next sample. This signal is
not available as an output.
Using a Digital Source
To use ao/Pause Trigger, specify a source and a polarity. The source can be
an external signal connected to any PFI or RTSI <0..6> pin. The source can
also be one of several other internal signals on your DAQ device. Refer to
Device Routing in MAX
in the
NI-DAQmx Help
or the
LabVIEW Help
in
version 8.0 for more information.
Also, specify whether the samples are paused when ao/PauseTrigger is at a
logic high or low level.
AO Sample Clock Signal
You can use the AO Sample Clock (ao/SampleClock) signal to initiate AO
samples. Each sample updates the outputs of all of the DACs.
The source of the ao/SampleClock signal can be internal or external. You
can specify whether the DAC update begins on the rising edge or falling
edge of the ao/SampleClock signal.
