Hello Shakes,
1. I would encourage you to download the latest version of our drivers (NI-DAQ 7.3). You can download them from
here 2. To find an example of analog input using an external trigger go to Find Examples in LabVIEW. In the browse tab, go to Hardware Input and Output, DAQ, Analog Input, General and choose the example Cont Acq&Graph(buffered) D-Trig.VI. This program will start acquiring analog input data continuously once a digital trigger is applied.
Hope this helps,
LA
