Difficulty Triggering Tek MDO3014

[jmaslek]

So I am trying to write a VI that waits for a trigger, aquires a waveform and then displays it.  But I want it continuously running so that when I start a new sequence, I do not have to restart the VI.

Not sure why I am having issues here. I took the VI's out of the Tek MDO3000 series drivers (named differently), and they just will not respond to a trigger.

I am attaching what I have, and I was hoping for some help with my syntax and making sure that the loops are used correctly and what not

What issues are you having?

You would probably benefit from using an Event Structure.  You can then tell the VI when to start looking for a trigger and capture a waveform.  It would also allow you to update settings when you need them changed.  You should also have a timeout of some sort when looking for a trigger or you could be waiting forever.

How would I go about that, as in what event would I be looking for.

The way I know if I have been triggered is when I send/write a visa command, I get (read)  one of two things, either triggered or not triggered.  I need to continue querying the VISA write/read to get when that changes from one to the other.   I tried implementing some kind of event structure, but it does not keep asking VISA for the change.  I will attach it.

I was thinking something more like this.
