Monitoring PFI0 and PFI1

[Brian_S]

I have a PCI MIO 16E board and SCXI system with a
SCXI 1302 module. I have two digital triggers
wired into that module for both PFI0 and PFI1.
I am taking pretrigger data with this setup.
I would like to know If or how I can monitor
PFI0 and PFI1 with labview while prior to
actually aquiring data. My trigger lines
are located away from the computer taking
the data and I would like to see or know
what the state of my trigger lines are in.

Brian;

The only way I can think of about doing this is by hardwiring the PCI lines to some of the input lines of the measurement system and perform a regular analog input acquisition.
Hope this helps.

So, you think that I could wire these lines to
say acouple Digital ports in and check the status
of those lines using a Digital port I/O vi?

Brian,

Yes, this would work as well. The only difference in doing it this way is that you can't do a buffered digital input with this board, but it doesn't sound like that will be a problem in this case.
