Edit Trigger Signal

I want to send the Trigger Signal out of my device which is based on USB 6361. Problem is that default trigger signal is so short that it doesn't go through my circutboard (which is connected to 6361) to phisycal output. Is there any possibility to set the length of trigger signal?

I thought of another solution which is triggering a digital output and writing boolean value to it but it looks like digital outputs (port2/line7) could not be triggered this way on USB 6361 board. Smiley Sad

Clocked digital output is only on port 0, but you could just use a counter output instead (the output terminal can be set with a property node to any of the PFI lines).

Dear Dide,

 

Like the previous poster had said, a counter task would be the most appropriate in such a case, since you can customize the length of the pulse output. You can find good community examples of synchronized CO and AI here and here, I you can use these for with a little modification for the task at hand. Also, make sure to start the counter task first, so it will be ready for the triger pulse when it's sent.

 

Best of luck with the app!

 

Kind regards:
