Analog triggering problems

[Mike Brown]

Using LABview 5.1.1 with triggering on a normal input channel configured for voltage readings.

Card is PCI-6071E



Get syntax error 10001 occurring at AI trig Config when trying to use a channel for triggering both in my own program and example prog using analog hardware triggering supplied with LABview.

I can acquire this channel OK in other programmes but it says there is an error in the input string arrangement when I use it for triggering. The channel was configured in NI measuring automation on with voltage units

Maybe your error is due to a wrong indication of trigger channel with respect to acquired channels list.
I quote for you some help taken from a LV example (Cont Acq&Graph (buffered) Hard A-Trig.vi):
"...With E Series devices, if your analog trigger signal is connected to one of the analog input channels, that channel must be first in the scan list of channels. If you are using named channels, the trigger channel must be the first channel in the actual hardware channel order, which may or may not be the first channel in the channel string control. This restriction does not apply if you connect the analog trigger signal to PFI0..."

Thanks Roberto.

I was fiddling around and I found out by accident that you had to put the triggering channel first in the scan list.

Again thanks for your response.
