DAQPad-6020E : how use DAQ-STC

[brunet]

I have a DAQPAd-6020E and I would like to connect a trigger signal. I think to use the DAQ-STC with th ePFI and others timing signal. But I don't know how to access to this function with Labview. Someone could help me ?

Hello,

If I understand what you want, you need to trigger an analog acquisition from an external digital trigger.
By default, the Start Trigger signal is internally routed to the PFI0 line of the front connector.
To configure your device to start acquisition on rising edge on PFI0, you can use the following examples provided with LabVIEW (Menu Help >> Search examples...):
* Hardware Input and Output >> Traditionnal DAQ or DAQmx >> Analog Input.

Please let me know if it helps.

Thank you for your answer.
I found one example with DAQPad-6020E : Acq N Scans to File(wdt).vi and I don't see the link with PFI0.
I could trig may be with a digital signal directly on PFI0 line of the front connector. What do you think about ?

Here is an example found on our web site:
* Continuously Acquire Analog Input Data with a Digital Trigger
