I'm using the DAQ example, Arbitrary Waveform Generator, but need to add in an analog trigger. How do I do tis?

[MEMSpoweruser]

I need to output two square waves with a variable duty cycle. The arbitrary waveform generator is an excellent vi for this, but I also need an analog input to trigger this. How can I add one in? I want it to trigger off the rising edge of a square wave.

Hello;

There is a Labview shipping example that shows how to configure an Analog Triggered Analog Output DAQ task.
You can find that example at Search Examples->I/O Interfaces->Data Acquisition->Analog Output->Triggering a Generation. The VI's name is Generate N Updates Using Hardware Analog Trigger.vi.

You can study how the trigger is applied on that VI, borrow the idea and implement that part on your VI.

Hope this helps.
