Hi, can someone point me to a diagram of some sort to provide a visual guide for how it is possible route triggers among the different functions in a DAQ? I know this is a vague question, so a vague answer would be okay. I'm thinking something like a block diagram with switches and stuff, and what DAQmx function applies to which switch.
thanks

Hello RedmondUser,
There are some great resources online for learning to do triggering in DAQmx. Here are a few that I've found most helpful.
Tips and Techniques in Data Acquisition Triggering
Learn 10 Functions in NI-DAQmx and Handle 80 Percent of your Data Acquisition
Timing and Synchronization Features of NI-DAQmx
If you're looking for code, I highly recommend opening LabVIEW and going to Help > Find Examples and searching for DAQmx Trigger. I found example code called "Analog Input - Synchronization" that shows how to trigger analog input tasks.
I hope this helps!

Thanks for the links. Yes I'm aware of the examples folder. I finally opened up *all* of them and started to see the patterns needed for my purpose. I think it becomes simpler once you see the examples; the documentation being so extensive gives the impression that things need to be complicated.
