Triggering NI9263 card (Voltage Output) with NI9215 (Voltage Input) on cDAQ-9174

[Pieterson]

Hello all,

I am able to generate the desired signal using Analog output module NI 9263 on cDAQ 9174. I have been triggering/starting the generation using from Labview. I would now like to trigger the same externally using analog input voltage of a certain threshold. I intend to use Ni-9215 (analog input) module for triggering the analog output.

I am wondering if that can be done. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hello Pieterson,

I recommend you check the document: Acquisition with Analog Triggering on a CompactDAQ.

As you will read, not all modules support Analog Triggering. I recommend you explore the option of switching to a digital trigger instead. Perhaps with an external circuit than can trigger a High when your voltage goes over your desired level.
