I'm trying to create a hardware-triggered analog input task that will acquire N samples whenever I give it a hardware trigger using a USB-6229 DAQ. As far as I can tell from reading through previous posts, the board does not natively support retriggered tasks like this, so I'm supposed to create a counter which will serve as the internal clock for a second task (presumably a continuous acquisition task). My problem is that it is not at all clear how to go about doing this. I've tried going into MAX and creating a Counter output, but all options for the "Start Trigger" are dimmed. Also, I am not sure what mode to put the pulses in - 1 pulse, continuous pulses, etc. Which one of these counters is going to be hardware-retriggerable? The documentation I've found to date all mostly deals with LabView and I can't really understand how the tasks are configured based on the pictures they show.
