Would it be accurate to state that the PCI-6110 can be set to "retriggerable" but the PXI-6115 cannot use this property?

Would it be accurate to state that the PCI-6110 can be set to "retriggerable" but the PXI-6115 cannot use this property?  If so, where is it documented which S series cards can do retriggering?  For example, is it possible to setup retriggering on the PXI-6124?

Hi Joel_Neptune,

The PCI-6110 and other S Series devices like the PXI-6115 and PXIe-6124 do not natively support analog input retriggering in NI-DAQmx. However, you can use one of the board's general purpose counter/timers to generate a retriggered pulse train, and then use that pulse train as the sample clock. This shipping example shows how:

LabVIEW\examples\DAQmx\Synchronization\Multi-Function.llb\Multi-Function-Ctr Retrigg Pulse Train Generation for AI Sample Clock.vi

Also, the new simultaneous sampling X Series devices natively support analog input retriggering without using a separate counter/timer task.
