Using a PCI-5411 , NI-FGEN 2.7.2, Labview 2009 I can redirect the sync output to RTSI0 in the
NIFGEN soft panel, but am having difficulties in getting this to work in Labview code.
I'm trying to use a NI-FGEN property node to select the various parameters such as pulse width, etc. but
am not getting output. Is there an example vi that is available that I could follow? Is the block diagram
available for the NIFGEN soft panel? Sync redirect to RTSI0 works in NIFGEN soft panel. Does marker
redirect to RTSI0 actually work with the PCI-5411? The data sheet says it does. How about marker redirect on
the PCI-5401?

Hi scotto,
In order to do the routing of a signal onto a different line with FGEN in LabVIEW, you will need the niFgen Export Signal VI. Here's the documentation for the function:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/370524P-01/nifgenlv/nifgen_export_signal/
You will be able to redirect markers and signals to various RTSI lines for both the 5411 and the 5401. As far as trying to replicate the soft front panel, feel free to browse the shipping examples located in Help>Find Examples>Instrument Input and Output>Modular Instruments>NI-FGEN. Hope this helps!
