Can you trigger on an analog signal with the base package?

Is there a way to trigger off a falling analog signal to reset a elapsed timer using the basic Labview package? ( My E6036 aquisition board does not support triggering.)

You'll have to build your trigger using LabVIEW since the DAQ card does not support it. The base package will be able to do this.

Basically, you'll need to do a continuous analog input to monitor the siganl, when it goes below your threshold value, reset your timer.

Have a look through the Examples that come with LabVIEW. (Help>Find Examples) Try one that does a continuous acquisition and add your timer and triggering to that.

Using the Abort button to stop your VI is like using a tree to stop your car. It works, but there may be consequences.
