More:Pause:Analog Window:Pause When

I am trying to set up a data collection trigger using the DAQmx trigger of the type More:Pause: Anolog Window.  In the help it tells me I would then use the property node to set the properties More:Pause:Analog Window:Pause When (as well as :Bottom and :Top).  I am able to set the type to Pause:Analog Trigger in the property node by tying a constant to the property node Pause.TrigType.  However, when I go to set the the other properties, they are not available for settting or I can't get them selected into my trigger property node(Puase.AnlgWin.Btm, Pause.AnlgWin.Top, and Pause.AnlgWin.When).   It's like they just don't exist.  Has anyone had this problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

I have not seen this behavior before.  You should be able to resize the property node to allow you to select more than one property to set.  daqmx_trigger_property.png

Is this how you are trying to set them?  When you go to the menus, do the options just not show up in the menu or are they grayed out?  If you could attach a screenshot of the problem, that would be great.  Thanks,

Yes, this is exactly what I'm trying to do.  Unfortunately, for whatever reason I can't get my screen copier (MWSnap) to capture the menu list, but I am getting exactly what you have except after I select Pause, my only choices are trigger type and digital level.  I've tried this in my main VI and again when starting a brand new VI with a new trigger property node.  Both give me a limited number of property options.  Is there a labview setting somewhere for these properties or a tool kit I don't have?  Thanks for your help.

What kind of DAQ board do you have? If it does not support analog triggers, you won't have the properties to set an analog trigger.

I'm using an SCXI 1120-D to read my trigger.  I am able to use Start: Anolog Window Trigger using the VI icon and have it work correctly to start my data acquisition, but when I use the property node I would expect to be able to set Start.AnlgWin.Top and Start.AnlgWin.Bottom, but they aren't there either, just like my pauses.  The properties shown in the image below are the only ones that are available to me.  I want Puase.AnlgWin.Top, Pause.AnlgWin.Bottom and Pause.AnlgWin.source.  Also, when using the DAQmx Trigger VI (icon) I can select Start: Analog Window, but when I go to More -> Advance -> my only choices are "none" and "digital edge".  I expected to be able to select More -> Advance -> Pause -> Analog Window, but the pause option is not there.  Thank you for your help.

SCXI-1120 is a signal conditioning module.


What DAQ module are you using?

Sorry.  I'm using an M-Series DAQ (PXI 6251).

What version of the drivers are you using?  If you haven't already, I would recommend upgrading to the latest version (DAQmx 9.0).
