DAQ Assistant analogue and digital together

I'm using an NI USB-6210 multifunction DAQ. It's got analogue inputs and digital inputs and outputs. Is there any way to use all 3 at the same time? I've been using the DAQ Assisstant, but if I set it up for digital signals then I can't get the analogue and vice versa. I want to record the analogue signal but to end the recording when the digital signal goes high. I suppose I could do it by wiring the digital input into an analogue channel and just recording the voltage, but this doesn't seem very neat. Ideally I also want to then trigger the digital output to fire a few milliseconds after the digital input has gone high, although I know I can do this with a second DAQ Assisstant, but is there any way to do it all off one DAQ Assist?

Cheers.

The short answer is: no.

 

You would need two seperate program interactions with the digital ports and the analog ports.  Your ultimate goals can be accomplished, but it sounds like you would need 3 seperate interactions with your multifunctional daq hardware: sampling of analog signals, samples of your digital inputs, and output to your digital outputs.
