How to choose the PFI0 pin for clock source

I'm using a DAQ 6713 and labview

In the AO start menu I want to use the PFI0 pin to start the clock instead of choosing the internal one. How can I do that?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thank you

You specify the trigger conditions adding AO Trigger config.vi immediately before AO Start.vi, and selecting 'PFI Pin' for the Trigger or gate source terminal (create a constant from the terminal and select the correct option) and wiring the constant string 'PFI0' to the Trigger or gate source specification terminal.

Refer to the examples that ship with ni-daq, particularly 'Generate N updates using digital triggering' (Generate N Updates - E-series - D Trig.vi).

All this if your card does support this feature:I never used it so I can't help you in this matter, but you can find it referring to hardware capabilities in LabVIEW help.

Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

To correct a little error in my previous answer, to the trigger or gate source specification terminal must be wired a string constant with only the number corresponding to the pfi pin desired, in this case '0'.
