NI 5114 External Trigger

[MaceHowling]

How do I setup the Trigger Source on my NI 5114 to use an External Trigger or trigger on another channel? Is the external trigger Channel 3 (index 2)?

Hello MaceHowling,

I have found two articles that should help you successfully route the trigger.  The first link is a white paper that describes helpful functionality:

This link gives a description of examples that are available to you:

Pay special attention to the examples that reference synchronization.  They will help give you a structure and show the exact calls to route the trigger.  Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,
