Using XY Plot to make an oscilloscope like display.

There are a ton of ways to use triggering. You can use an event structure or a case structure in a while loop or use a DAQmx trigger function. Check out a search for trigger on our example code website.

Thanks for the information and link.

In the end, I want to be able to detect voltages (ranbdom) and take snapshots of one second intervals (like a 3D historgram).  Then I wish to convert every second's data, each to a CSV file.  The trigger is mainly for testing.  In the actual thing, I will receive random pulses from an electron gun and then my csv file should tell me at each position, how many times electrons hit each cell on the detector...

Hope you see the difficulty of my task...

engineer2450, did you ultimately find a solution (or VI) to this.  We have recently purchased a QUANTAR Model 2401B Position Analyzer and would very much like to integrate it similarly to how you describe.
