Synchronisation, using trig-functions for NI6014 IO-device.

[mrlmrl]

I have been trying to get the trig function going, using the I/O card NI6014. There is no information, in the software, on what for example DIGITAL A is on the I/O card. I can�t find any examples using this I/O card in the helping software (I use LabVIEW 6.1).

I want to generate a signal, and at the same time measure a response, and I want these two (out and in) to be synchronised.
Please, help me with this!

Hello;

The best way to sunchronize analog input with analog output tasks is by using the same clock pulse to clock both tasks.
You can set up the AI Scan Clock to be the master clock and use the Route signal.vi to route that pulse train to one of the RTSI lines, and then use that same RTSI line to be the AO Update clock.

I'm attaching a very good Application Note that shows how to synchronize multiple boards. You can borrow the idea and use the synchronization scheme on your single board.
Also, you can use any Labview example for E-series boards.
