NI 6052e: Can I re-route analog output from DAQ to PFI?

[svin]

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to route analog output to one of PFIs (e.g. PFI0)? I am useing NI 6052e and I'd like to do the following: 1) output a signal to DAQ0; 2) then in a few hundred milliseconds output a signal to DAQ1; and then 3) read out a simple analog pulse on any outer output connector to trigger an external device.

Thank you for your help!

Hello svin,

Could you please provide some more information regarding your hardware setup:

What devices are DAQ0 and DAQ1?

Are you using a PXI or PCI 6052?

When you say re-route AO to PFI do you mean you trying to wire AO to a PFI line for triggering purposes or are you trying to output and analog signal from a PFI line?

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me. Actually, I have been able to solve the problem in the meantime. And sorry for being unclear.

By DAQ0 and DAQ1 I meant analog output channels (ao0 and ao1) and the correspinding connector pins. These pins are wired in my system in the circuits that they drive. What I needed was to have an extra pin to which I could send a TTL pulse,

Now I simply connect ao0/StartTrigger connect PFI6 using DAQmxConnectTerms, execute a dummy write and then disconnect PFI6 from the ao0/StartTrigger. That seems to do the job.

Thanks again!
