Triggering Capabilities of PCI-6052E

[Bob Owen]

1. Can the 6052 trigger on one than more event. Example: Monitoring several voltages, if any one moves out of specified upper or lower trigger limits, can the status of all sampled voltages be "captured?"

2. In addition to situation 1 above, can the 6052E also be set to trigger on digital timing differences between two inputs? Example Input 1 and Input 2 both go low within 1ms of each other. Can a trigger be generated if Input 1 and 2 transition time exceed 1ms?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Bob,

First of all, option #2 will not be possible. On the other hand, option #1 should be possible with the Config_DAQ_Event_Message() function. You will want to use DAQEvent 3. Below is a description of this event from the NI-DAQ help:

"Send a message each time a data point from any channel in chanStr is outside of the voltage region bounded by DAQTrigVal0 and DAQTrigVal1, where DAQTrigVal0 >= DAQTrigVal1."

Good luck with your application.
