how can I pause the task and resume it in some times?

[PKIM]

Hi all,

  I have been using traditional DAQ for some times and I swtich to DAQmx recently. In traditional DAQ, I can start a task, pause it for a while and then resume the task. But in DAQmx, I didn't see the same function. Is that any way to do the same thingin DAQmx? Thanks.

Hi PKIM,

Have you seen this thread?

The thread details how to create a pause trigger in software. A better option may be to create a pause trigger in hardware. I'm not sure what type of data acquisition task you are doing, but the method should work regardless. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best Regards,
