PCI 4070 Set own trigger

My apologies if this is a very obvious question, but I'm new to DMM's and labview software.

Essentially, I have a PCI 4070 DMM, and I am trying to use it to replace an oscilloscope that is currently measuring the voltage response of a pressure gauge.

Using labview 8.0, I've tried modifiying the "Triggered Waveform" example VI, to not much avail. What I would like to do is trigger the waveform acquisition at a voltage specified by the user. It seems to me that this should be relatively easy to implement with some kind of user defined input and a greater than value. Is there a trigger block that triggers the acquisition from a boolean input? Or, am I viewing this from entirely the wrong perspective?

Ultimately, I'd also like to acquire data for a set amount of time before and after the trigger; while that's a long way down the line from an understanding point of view, any thoughts on how to do that would be helpful too!

Many thanks in advance...
