DAQ 5102 trigger machnism

[jaced]

Hi Turbot,

I would like to clarify a few things.

It regard to the following statement:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am trying to make 2 kinds of trigger to DAQ 5102 individually, the internal trigger and outside trigger.

Both trigger will use the PF1 port.

This can not be done on the same PFI line if you want to use two seperate signals to trigger from you will need to use two separate

PFI lines. Otherwise the hardware will not distingush between an external signal vs. a internal clock signal routed to that PFI line.

You can accomplish two seperate triggers with a software trigger and a hardware trigger. Which is explained in my previous post.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You wish for the user to be able to switch between trigger types while the program is running

I THINK WHAT THIS TRANSLATES TO IN SCOPES IS TO ... adding a case structure with two cases one with your hardware trigger and the other containing a software trigger, or if you are using the internal clock as your

trigger source on a seperate PFI line you can also place that in the second case.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It would be very helpful if you could provide a screen shot of your code containing the trigger steps so that I can see exactly how

each trigger is configured, This will aid me in verifying exactly what is happening in each section. I believe there is also some

confusion with terminology software trigger is not a physical pulse but more of a pause in the program until the VI executes.

Thank you
