How do I configure a 1422 board so that Ext Trig 0 is directed to Control 0 in LVDS format to drive the line rate for a Dalsa camera?

I need to take an encoder in TTL format into trigger line 0 and redirect it to output control line 0 so that the board drives it in LVDS format. This will become the External Sync line for the Dalsa CL-P1-2048 line scan camera. I assume this is done in the icd file, but the documentation on this subject and the 1422 itself is extremely poor.

Brian,
I do not believe you are going to do exactly what you are looking for since there is no way to write to the control lines programatically or from the camera file. If you are looking to use this signal to trigger each line, you may want to take a look at this example:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/6c163603265406328625682a006ed37d/f2799dc12a94be2586256a79006985ce?OpenDocument
It uses motion and routes the encoder signal across for the line trigger. You can modify this so the input trigger is from your trigger line. I hope this information helps.
