In high-hysteresis triggering mode, shown in Figure 3-11, the trigger is
generated when the signal value is greater than
highValue
, with the
hysteresis specified by
lowValue
.
Figure 3-11.
High-Hysteresis Triggering Mode
In low-hysteresis triggering mode, shown in Figure 3-12, the trigger is
generated when the signal value is less than
lowValue
, with the hysteresis
specified by
highValue
.
Figure 3-12.
Low-Hysteresis Triggering Mode
You can use the EXT TRIG input SMB connector on the NI 4472 for
dedicated external digital triggering.
Alternately, you can trigger the NI 4472 from any other National
Instruments device that has the RTSI-bus feature. You can
programmatically route any PXI trigger to the NI 4472 except
RTSI 5/TRIG 5, which is reserved for internal use when synchronizing
multiple NI 4472 devices.
Note
A PXI chassis with multiple PXI buses might not have RTSI connections across the
bus boundaries.
