Configuring a trigger on a DC Power module

I have a PXIe-6535 (digital IO module) and a PXI-4130 DC power module.  How can I setup the system so that when the PFI5 line on the 6535 goes high, the DC power module turns on output 2 at 4v with a current limit of 50mA?

 

I tried configuring the trigger as follows, but I get an OperationNotSupportedException

NIDCPower power = new NIDCPower("PXI1Slot4", true, true);

//This throws OperationNotSupportedException
power.Triggers.StartTrigger.DigitalEdge.Configure(DCPowerDigitalEdgeStartTriggerInputTerminal.PxiTriggerLine5, DCPowerTriggerEdge.Rising);

Also, I was unable to find any information on how to configure the NIDCPower object to set the outputs when a trigger occurs.  Any help would be appreciated.

No wonder I was having problems....The 4130 does not support triggering or signal routing....

CurtisHx,

 

You are correct that the PXI 4130 does not support hardware triggering. The SMU that was released afterwards, the PXI 4132, added that functionality.

You can find more information about the NI PXI-4132 here: https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/model.pxi-4132.html
