Triggering an event in event structure by a digital line

[Barry_Shannon]

Hi  I Wrote code for my test application and all was going to well. I am using an event structure to handle menus and to start a test sequence. Until now I was just using a button on the front panel until the code was finalised and now thatIm happy with it all I want to start the test sequence by a digital line going high. But here I realised my problem.  I tried setting property nodes and local variables for the button On the front panel but this doesn’t work.  I know that the event structure is really only for front panelEvents but it’s worth a try...  Can anyone help??

How are you monitoring the digital line? Are you using DAQmx? If so, you might want to consider DAQmx events.

Hi Barry,

I think you will need to use a dynamic event terminal on the event structure, then register the event similar to the following:
