problems with the function DAQmxSetArmStartTriggerType

[IUBwork]

Hi,

I'm using DAQmx 8.3 and programming in Microsoft Visual C++ .NET

I encounter an error when building my solution, the offending function call being :

DAQmxSetArmStartTriggerType(taskHandle,'DAQmx_Val_DigEdge)

The error that is reported is : unexpected end of file in macro expansion

Has anyone seen this before? Thanks for any advice

Hello IUBwork,

The function is expecting the following parameter:
DAQmxSetArmStartTrigType(TaskHandle taskHandle, int32 data);

I noticed in your line of code you had a " ' " in your code, before your DAQmx_Val_DigEdge. Was this in your code or was this a type-o in the discussion forum?

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for the assistance. The errant, ' , was in my e-mail, and not in the code.

This morning I tried to repair (via the MS Windows "Add or Remove Programs" Control Panel facility) my DAQmx 8.3 version. This has ameliorated the problem. Perhaps there was a 'hiccup' during my installation.

Thanks
