Use discret signal with Event Structure

[Yabune]

Hi,

Is it possible to use a discret signal (from PXI-6511) as an event for the Event Structure?

Instead of executing some code when a button of the form is pressed, I would like to use a real button connected to a digital board.

Thank you!

Hello,

Do you want a trigger? because you don't need an Event Structure with a trigger.

What do you want to do with this button? Data acquisition, ... ?

Can you send your VI?

Yes, I will have a button connected to a NI PXI-6511 board, and I would like that when I press the button it starts to do some acquisition and some processing of the data acquired.

I thought in doing a loop where for each iteration I check the discret signal, but maybe there's a better way, like a trigger that would execute some labview code when detects that discret signal.

I think that the trigger is the best choice.

here an example.

I can't open these files. I have Labview 7.1.1.
Could you convert them?

Thank you!
