• DO Pause Trigger (do/PauseTrigger)
The source also can be one of several other internal signals on your DAQ
device. Refer to Device Routing in MAX in the NI-DAQmx Help or the
LabVIEW Help for more information.
Using an Analog Source
When you use an analog trigger source, the internal sample clock pauses
when the Analog Comparison Event signal is low and resumes when the
signal goes high (or vice versa).
Routing AI Pause Trigger Signal to an Output Terminal
You can route AI Pause Trigger out to any PFI <0..15>, RTSI <0..7>,
PXI_STAR, or PXIe-DSTARC terminal.
Note Pause triggers are only sensitive to the level of the source, not the edge.
Getting Started with AI Applications in Software
You can use the Simultaneous MIO X Series device in the following analog
input applications:
•Simultaneous sampling
• Single-point analog input
• Finite analog input
• Continuous analog input
You can perform these applications through DMA or programmed I/O data
transfer mechanisms. Some of the applications also use start and reference
pause triggers.
Note For more information about programming analog input applications and triggers in
software, refer to the NI-DAQmx Help or the LabVIEW Help in version 8.0 or later.
Simultaneous MIO X Series devices use the NI-DAQmx driver.
NI-DAQmx includes a collection of programming examples to help you get
started developing an application. You can modify example code and save
it in an application. You can use examples to develop a new application or
add example code to an existing application.
