how do you create ai/StartTrigger in multi function synchronization?

[mpsarma1]

In the simultaneous start example under Multi-function synchronization how do you configure the ai/StartTrigger thing in the VI “Get terminal Name with device prefix VI”.  How do you create this in Max?

Possible reason(s):

Source terminal to be routed could not be found on the device.

Make sure the terminal name is valid for the specified device. Refer to Measurement & Automation Explorer for valid terminal names.

Property: Start.DigEdge.Src

Property: Start.DigEdge.Edge

Source Device: Dev1

Source Terminal: Device=ai/StartTrigger

Task Name: _unnamedTask<10>

Are you sure your device supports digital triggering?

[mpsarma1]

yes . i forgot to mention the hardware part. it is USB multifunction DAQ 6218. i am working in labview 8.5.

How are you configuring the trigger?  The proper terminal name should read:

/Dev1/ai/StartTrigger

You are currently trying to set the terminal to:

Device=ai/StartTrigger
