Digital trigger with series M and DAQmx 7.4

Hi everyone,

I am getting upset since I can't solve a simple problem and convert my working full old-school system into a Labview-automated one.

My Labview setup is made of the following components :

LabView 7.1
DAQmx 7.4
Carte PCI 6221
Bornier BNC 2110
(+ others, imaq ieee1394,and camera, and motor + motion controller which gives the

I would like to trigger a part of my VI with a low to high digital trigger transition.

I tried the following without sucess :

VI event response.vi : doesn' t work, since low to high logic level transition is not yet supported by M series cards and DAQmx 7.4 (found on the forum).

Timed loop + digital edge detection : impossible because I have little spikes (amplitude 0,0012V) which are detected and counted as I don' t want them (counter jumps from 1 to a thousand of counts when I have a high to low transition. I am currently looking for a solution to supress these spikes but could' nt find any help about which component to use ( I suspect a capacitor is needed, but I am a noobie in electronics so I don' t know how to calculate its value)

Am I compelled to revert to traditional DAQ and use occurences ? Currently, I even don' t know how the VI would be made.

At last, I could'nt find a way to use analog inputs in DAQmx to generate a digital raise event which could be used by a timed loop.

I am sure that the trigger is working OK because I can check it works in MAX on any digital input.

Please help me I am getting crazy 🙂

Regards,
Joachim

It's nice to see some people answering my question.
I found the solution myself.

NI is great for support, if you want to pay !
