How to catch an analog hardware trigger from the PFI0/TRIG1 pin?

I have a PCI-MIO-16E-4 DAQ Board, a BNC-2090 Connector Block and LabVIEW 6.1. How do I configure a VI like the example 'Acquire N - Multi-Analog Hardware Trig.vi' to accept an analog input trigger from the PFI0/TRIG1? What parameters do I give to the AI Config, AI Start and AI Read VIs? The parameter 'Trigger channel' only seem to accept channel numbers, so what channel number do I have to give to make it undestand that I want to catch the trigger using the PFIO/Trig Channel?

Thank you.

Hi,

look into Help!

AI Start needs on "analog chan and level" the string "PFI0" to use PFI0 for analog trigger input. In the example it is the control "trigger channel".

Unfortunatly the help is not complete. "analog chan and level" is a cluster of two elements, the channel name and the level. The level is not explained in help.
